Southport families hope ‘no stone is unturned’ in public inquiry

The families of the three girls killed in the Southport knife attack will be left “stoneless”.

Nine -year -old Alice Aguiar, six -year -old Bebe King and seven -year -old Elsie Dot Stancombe was killed in a Taylor Swift -themed dance class on July 29 last year.

18 -year -old Axel Rudakubana was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years of imprisonment for their murders.

The first phase of a public investigation at Liverpool Town Hall will examine its history and the missed opportunities to prevent relations with the relevant agencies and their relations.

Christopher Walker, the lawyer of the families, said: “My customers, the three -year -old family hopes that the investigation will not leave any stones in determining the facts that lead to this day.

“As both the President and the Prime Minister said, Southport must have a line in the sand and this investigation should change.

“We already know that the attack is prevented. Now it is important to establish, how and why.”

“We are determined to bring change and to ensure that Elsie, Alice and Bebe’s legacy are hope and joy.

“If our three families follow this painful way of discovery and reveal the truth, no other family will have to do again.”

The investigation also stems from hearing the influence of the families of the survivors Leanne Lucas, one of the families and yoga instructor Heidi Liddy.

After hearing the attack, the businessman Jonathan Hayes, who is stabbed when he leaves his office, will also talk.

The first phase of the investigation is expected to hear the details of the previous events with a knife of Rudakubana and the government is expected to hear the details of the three loves prevented in the Anti -Terror Program.

The criminal justice system is expected to be analyzed with his relationship with his family and his family.

A second stage of the investigation is expected to take care of the risk of young people with an extreme fixation.
