Uk Mass Stabbings: Nine-Year-Old Girl Becomes Third Child To Die, Five Children And Two Adults In Critical Condition After Attack At Taylor Swift Event

July 30: A third child has died following Monday’s mass stabbing at a seaside town in northwest England, authorities reported. The attack left ten others injured.

The incident occurred at Hart Space, a community center in Seaport, during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event for children. The assailant entered the center and began attacking attendees with a knife.

The victims include two girls, Bebe King, 6, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, who were killed at the scene. A 9-year-old girl, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, succumbed to her injuries in the hospital early Tuesday, bringing the death toll to three.

In a tribute shared by Merseyside Police, King’s family expressed their heartbreak: “No words can describe the devastation that has hit our family as we try to deal with the loss of our little girl Bebe.”

Aguiar’s family also shared a heartfelt message: “Keep smiling and dancing like you love to do our Princess, like we said before to you, you’re always our princess and no one would change that. Love from Your Hero Daddy and Mummy.”

Eight other children sustained stab wounds, with five in critical condition. Two adults, who attempted to protect the children, are also critically injured.

The 17-year-old suspect, a male from the nearby village of Banks, remains in police custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. His name has not been released due to his minor status. Police have seized a knife from the scene and are investigating the motive for the attack, though it is not being treated as terror-related. No additional suspects are being sought.

The attack has left the nation in shock. Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incident as “horrendous and deeply shocking news.” King Charles III and Queen Camilla expressed their profound shock and extended their heartfelt condolences to the affected families. Taylor Swift also voiced her distress, stating on Instagram, “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock.”

The community has turned Hart Space into a memorial, with flowers and toys left at the center. Patrick Hurley, the Member of Parliament for Southport, stated, “This is shocking news for our community, but we will stand strong against this mindless violence and I will work with other community leaders to help our town and our community pull through this horrific incident.”
