The classmates of the schoolgirls who died in the Southport dance class stabbings continue to be supported, their headteachers have said, as they issued tributes following the sentencing of the killer.
Tributes were released by the headteachers of the schools attended by Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar after Axel Rudakubana was ordered to serve at least 52 years in custody for his knife attack on the Taylor Swift-themed class on July 29.
