When officers arrived, they found that multiple people, many of whom were children, had been subjected to a “ferocious attack” and had suffered serious injuries.
A 17-year-old has been charged with the murder of three young girls during a dance class in Southport. The victims, Bebe King 6 years old, Elsie Dot Stancombe 7 years old, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar 9 years old, died after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event on Monday. The suspect, who will appear in Liverpool City Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, faces additional charges of ten counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. Eight other children and two adults were injured, some critically.
Merseyside Police announced the charges, with Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor Ursula Doyle urging the public to avoid any actions that might jeopardise the trial. Chief Constable Serena Kennedy emphasised that the investigation is ongoing, involving collaboration with Lancashire Police and counter-terrorism units.
The attack occurred at the Hart Space centre, where a summer dance class for children aged six to ten was being held. Police responded to reports of a stabbing just before 11:50 BST, finding multiple victims, including children and two critically injured adults who tried to protect the kids.
In the aftermath, a protest in London related to the incident led to over 100 arrests for various offences, including violent disorder and assault on an emergency worker. Separate unrest in Southport also resulted in violence against a mosque, with over 50 officers injured. The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is set to meet with police leaders to discuss the incidents and reinforce the importance of peaceful protest and public safety.
