Bebe King, six, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died after a mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport
Inquests have been launched into the tragic deaths of three young girls who were fatally stabbed in Southport last week. The proceedings took place at Bootle Town Hall.
Axel Rudakubana, a 17 year old from Lancashire, has been charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place. He is set to face trial next year. The local community, along with family and friends of the victims, have paid their respects, most recently at a vigil held a week after the horrific attack. Hundreds of floral tributes have also been left at the scene, reports the Express.
