Their young lives should be driving force for change

Tragedy 'has united community'

- PHIL CARDY

THE teacher who led the Southport dance class where three young girls were killed said the tragedy made her "lose faith in the world".

Leanne Lucas was leading the Taylor Swift themed event when the attack happened on July 29.

Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, lost their lives.

Speaking at a candle-lit vigil in memory of women and girls who have lost their lives to male violence in Merseyside, Leanne, 35, said the attack had left her feeling unsafe.

And she hoped the girls' memories were a "driving force to change things for other people in the future".
