Third child dies in knife attack in UK’s Southport, police confirm
Al JazeeraPolice confirm all three victims were girls and say five children and two adults remain in a critical condition. “Sadly we can confirm that a third child has passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a knife attack in Southport yesterday morning,” Merseyside police said in a statement, adding that she died in hospital on Tuesday. Two adults are also in a critical condition after being injured during the incident, police said in an update on the stabbings at a Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance workshop in Southport town near Liverpool. “A name has been shared on social media in connection with the suspect in the incident in Southport,” police said on Tuesday. “This name is incorrect and we would urge people not to speculate on details of the incident while the investigation is ongoing.” Richard Townes, a children’s entertainer and father of a young child, from Southport, told the Press Association news agency on Tuesday that parents in the area are now “terrified” of sending their children to summer groups.
