Girl 'sat bleeding in silence' to save her injured sister
The inquiry highlights the courage of young survivors who protected each other during the attack, while examining missed prevention opportunities involving the assailant's prior agency contacts.
- On July 29 last year, a knifeman attacked a Southport dance class, killing Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine; Bebe King, six; and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and injuring others.
- The inquiry's first phase will examine Axel Rudakubana's contacts with agencies and any failures, noting he was flagged three times to Prevent and should have been referred to Channel.
- One mother described how her eldest daughter, already injured, dragged and protected her younger sister and comforted others despite bleeding profusely after escaping to a neighbour's house.
- Running until November, the Southport Inquiry's first phase will hear impact statements from families of survivors, while survivors receive specialist psychological support for lasting trauma.
- Retired senior judge Sir Adrian Fulford will lead a second phase examining how youths are drawn into extreme violence, as families of victims and survivors urge the Southport Inquiry to expose systemic failures and prompt change.
