Knife attack on children's holiday course
The 17-year-old perpetrator, who was born in Cardiff, Wales, forced his way into a dance studio on Monday where a dance workshop for children aged seven to 11 was taking place, dancing to songs by US singer Taylor Swift, and stabbed the girls and the two dance teachers.

Two girls - aged six and seven - succumbed to their serious injuries on Monday, another girl, aged nine, died on Tuesday. Five others are seriously injured in hospital. The two dance teachers, who were still trying to protect the children, and two other children were also injured. 

The vacation course for children aged between six and eleven was fully booked with 25 participants, as the BBC reported. The program included a dance and yoga workshop as well as making bracelets like those worn by many Taylor Swift fans.
