What the Southport Inquiry is for and the horror a teen victim described | ITV News

WARNING: This video contains details of the Southport stabbing attacks

The attacks in Southport last year on young, defenseless, innocent children horrified and upset the whole country.

Children and adults stabbed, many more traumatised – and three girls: little Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Aguiar, murdered in a holiday dance class.

Now their grieving parents, alongside victims and families are having to describe the impact of that horrific summer’s day.

It is all for an inquiry to determine if Axel Rudakubana – the killer – could have been stopped long before he even got to the door of that dance workshop.

And now for the first time, we’ve heard one of the children – who was stabbed in the attack – describe the horror in her own words.

ITV Granada Reporter Anna Youssef has been at the inquiry and tells Lucy Watson what you need to know.
