Southport: A tragic event unfolded last year during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. An 18-year-old named Axel Rudakubana has now pleaded guilty to murdering three young girls.
The girls, Alice, Bebe, and Elsie, were just having fun when the attack happened. It was a normal day at The Hart Space until it turned into a nightmare.
Rudakubana changed his plea on the first day of his trial. He also admitted to several other serious charges, including attempted murder.
On that fateful day, the dance teacher, Leanne Lucas, tried to protect her students. Sadly, she was seriously injured while trying to save them.
Now, Rudakubana is set to be sentenced soon. The whole community is still reeling from this horrific incident.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper expressed her condolences to the families affected. She emphasized the importance of justice and the need for a fair trial.
A vigil was held in August to honor the victims. The community came together to remember the girls and support their families.
This tragedy has left a mark on Southport, and many are still in shock. Everyone hopes for healing and justice in the days to come.
