The attack took place during a dance class for children in the style of famous singer Taylor Swift. The younger man also faces 10 counts of attempted murder.
He appeared at Liverpool City Court last Thursday (01). 8 children and 2 adults were injured in the dance class. Many of them continue to be in critical condition.
Only 6 to 9-year-old girls have been killed. Meanwhile, protests have taken place in central London over the deaths in Southport. More than 100 people who participated in it have been arrested. The demonstration erupted after rumors spread on social media that the young immigrant who carried out the stabbing attack was a hard-line Islamist.
However, the police said that the attacker was not linked to terrorism and was born in Britain.
