KUALA LUMPUR – Two children have been killed in a knife attack in Southport, Merseyside, in northwest England yesterday.

Nine other people were injured and six of whom were in critical condition, according to Merseyside police chief Serena Kennedy, as reported by Xinhua.

It is understood that the children were attending classes at the “Taylor Swift Yoga and Dance Workshop” for minors aged 7 to 11 when the attacker entered.

Among the injured are two adults who intervened in the attack.

“We believe that the adults who were injured were bravely trying to protect the children who were being attacked,” the police said.

Police have arrested a 17-year-old boy from Banks, Lancashire, on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The motivation behind the attack remains unclear as the investigation is still in its early stages, the police said.

Police declared the stabbing a “major incident,” adding that it is not being treated as terror-related at this time.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the attack is “truly awful” and the “whole country is deeply shocked.”

The knife attack was reported at around 11.50am (6.50pm Malaysian time) in a property on Hart Street, UK police said in a statement yesterday. – July 30, 2024
