Three Girls Die After A Stabbing In The Dance Class

Three girls die in a deadly knife attack in a dance class in Britain. The dance class was a Taylor Swift-themed class in a holiday club in the UK where the police and the families now paid tribute to their “little girl” and “princess”.

The three girls identified are Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine years old, Bebe King, six years old, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven years old. The three girls were brutally stabbed in the dance class in Southport yesterday.

The police have a 17-year-old boy in custody. His name is not disclosed for legal reasons. He is being charged with murder and attempted murder at the dance studio on Hart Street.

The fact that the suspect is from Banks, a town outside of Southport, is the subject of extensive investigation. Yesterday afternoon, the police cordoned off the road within the said area.

In total, eight students were stabbed out of which three girls died. The remaining five are critically injured and are in serious condition, the police confirmed. Two adults were also included in the list of injured people.

Bebe’s family, in utter grief at the moment, said, “No words can describe the devastation that has hit our family as we try to deal with the loss of our little girl Bebe”.

Family of Alice also remembered her as their “princess” and asked her to “keep smiling” in heaven and keep dancing, which she loved the most.

The police have assured support from specialist family liaisons to the families of the three deceased girls. Additionally, they have asked the public to hold off on making any assumptions about the suspect just yet. The investigation is still underway and adding a name on social media or making any connections would be entirely incorrect.

The motive behind the murder attempt is still unclear, hence, the police are not yet trying to portray it as a terror-promoting incident.

Three girls die in a knife attack, equally shocking for Taylor Swift and the government

British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has shown a higher level of condemnation and even greater condolences to the families and friends of the three girls. He said in the police conference yesterday evening, “The whole country is deeply shocked”.

When the children were attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class that was offered for kids aged six to eleven years, the suspect walked in with a knife. He started attacking small kids without uttering a word.

Merseyside Police proclaimed the site a ‘major incident scene’ when 13 ambulances and the fire service were standing outside in response to the vicious incident.

The locals came to the police saying that one of the injured adults locked herself up in a room with children to shield them. The eyewitness mentioned that she heard screaming and saw children “covered in blood”, suffering with stabbed wounds.

After Taylor Swift came to know about the three girls dead, she posted on Instagram, “completely in shock”. She further added, “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock”. She offered her great sympathies to the families of the deceased children.

British Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, guaranteed that Mr Starmer is on a “moral mission” to take care of the knife crimes in the country. When the reporters asked him additional questions, he responded that the government would take all possible actions to stop future knife crimes.

The Southport reporters were told, “Well there will be deep distress right across the country, as well as here in Southport, for this appalling, just truly horrific attack”.

Miss Cooper visited the scene of the dance class incident and paid tribute to the three girls with flowers.
