@thenewsmovement: For News Purposes Only Nine-year-old Alice Aguiar has been named as the third victim of the Southport knife attack to die after attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Alice, who was born in Portugal but lived with family in the UK, is the first victim to be named. Two other children, aged six and seven, have died. Five children remain in critical condition in hospital and another three were wounded. Two adults are also in critical condition. A relative paid tribute on social media, writing: "Princess Alice. In this moment of great pain my soul hurts, my body hurts, my mind hurts. "I have a lump in my throat. You were just an innocent child, a happy smiley girl with a bright life ahead of you which a despicable human being took away from you, without pity, for no reason. "Fly high our little star. I love you." A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, remains in custody accused of murder and attempted murder following the incident at the dance studio in Hart Street. The Portuguese Secretary of State for Communities, Jose Cesario, said Alice was originally from the Madeira region and that her parents were in a state of shock. The fully booked club for children, which was advertised as a dance and yoga workshop as well as bracelet-making, quickly became something “like a horror movie”, witnesses to the deadly stabbings have said. US singer Taylor Swift said she is “completely in shock” after the “horror” of the knife attack. Fans of the popstar had raised more than £103,000 by Tuesday afternoon via their Swifties for Southport online fundraiser.
