Two girls aged six and seven were identified as the first fatalities in the attack just before midday on Monday
The third young victim of the horrific stabbing attack in Southport has been identified as eight year old Alice Aguiar from Portugal. Her heartbroken family and friends have paid tribute to their "princess" tragically taken by a "despicable human being".
A source from the Portuguese Foreign Ministry confirmed today that a Portuguese girl was among the deceased. They stated: "Portugal's Consul General in Manchester is assisting the family, having spoken to her parents, and is continuing to offer them all the support they need."Alice's mother, Alexandra Aguiar, is believed to be originally from Caracas, Venezuela, while her father, David Aguiar, hails from Madeira.
Her poignant post prompted responses from friends, with one offering support: "Have strength. Let my dear God console the hearts of her parents." While another said: "I have no words. My condolences to the whole family. Lots of strength at this difficult hour." The community is shaken as Alice becomes one of the three fatalities, while others battle critical injuries following a terrible stabbing incident in Southport. In response to the attack at a party celebrating Taylor Swift, Merseyside Police have detained a 17 year old male from Lancashire, originally from Cardiff. Officers clarify that the assault is not being treated as an act of terror at this stage.
