Funeral held for girl killed in Southport knife attack

The six-year-old died alongside nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar and Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the Merseyside town on 29 July.

The private service yesterday morning was restricted to close friends and family, while people not attending were encouraged to light a candle in her memory.

The deaths of the three children have sparked nationwide riots and anti-immigration protests after false information spread online that the attacker was an illegal immigrant.

The suspect has now been identified as Axel Rudakubana, now 18. He has been charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a kitchen knife with a curved blade, and has been remanded into custody.
