A third child has died following yesterday's attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport. The three children are all young girls aged six, seven and nine years old. A 17-year-old boy is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
Earlier, we reported that a Just Giving page set up by Taylor Swift fans had been set up so people can contribute towards funeral costs and victim support. Shortly before 10am, the total raised was around £23,000.It's now nearly tripled to more than £60,000. A reminder that the site of the attack, where three children died and several more were injured, was a Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance class.
'What compelled us was we were thinking about the fact that these families are going through just unimaginable hell right now,' Ms Jones told PA.'It feels really nice we've done something really positive.'I firmly believe there's nothing we can do to make the families feel better because of what they're going through right now, but if we've taken some sort of burden from them, financial or whatever, it's nice to know that we've done what we can do.
