A third girl, aged nine, died in hospital from injuries suffered in the massacre which took place yesterday in the English city of Southport . Merseyside Police said this in a statement, confirming that the other two victims were six and seven years old.
There is great condolence throughout the United Kingdom for the attack in the town in the Liverpool metropolitan area, carried out in the nursery of a yoga campus for new mothers, by a 17-year-old young man.
