A nine-year-old girl has become the third child to die after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the UK.

Two other girls, aged six and seven, died in the attack in northwest England on Monday.

A 17-year-old boy remains in custody accused of murder and attempted murder following the incident in Southport.

Eight other children suffered stab wounds and five are in critical condition, alongside two adults who were critically injured.

Grey said that her fans have raised more than $400 thousand for the families of the victims.
