On July 29, three girls went to a Taylor Swift party at a studio in Southport, Merseyside and did not return. It was meant to be a treat for the summer holidays: two hours of yoga and dancing along to some of their favourite music. Instead, they were stabbed to death, during a frenzied knife attack in the rooms where they had been playing. Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died at the scene. Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, died in hospital the following day. Eight other children were injured in the attack, as well as two teachers.
