Britain's King Charles III reacts as he views tributes outside Southport Town Hall, during his visit to meet with members of the local community, following the 29 July attack at a children's dance party, in Southport, northwest England, on 20 August 2024.
Buckingham Palace said he also wanted to thank"frontline emergency staff for their ongoing work serving local people". All three died in the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town just over three weeks ago, which also left ten people injured, eight of them children. Joanne Martlew, a retired emergency service worker who helped survivors after coming across the aftermath of the attack, said it had been"brilliant to see the King".
Axel Rudakubana, who was aged 17 at the time, has been charged with murder and attempted murder over the stabbing spree.A motive for the atrocity has not been disclosed, but police have said it is not being treated as terror-related. The authorities have cited misinformation spread online that Rudakubana was a Muslim asylum seeker for fuelling the violence.
