The Southport murders could have been prevented if the killer’s parents and authorities had acted in the years leading up to the attack, an inquiry found.
It is "highly likely" the attack would not have occurred if various agencies had dealt with the killer’s behaviour earlier, the inquiry also found.
Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6, were killed during an indiscriminate knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop on 29 July 2024.
UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer who called the inquiry’s findings “harrowing” has promised to make “fundamental changes” to keep the pubic safe.
The killer, who was 17 at the time, seriously wounded eight other children and two adults in the attack. He has since been sentenced to at least 52 years in prison.
