The parents of Bebe, a six-year-old girl tragically killed in the Southport stabbings, have expressed their heartbreak in a heartfelt tribute to their "precious daughter." In a statement released by Merseyside Police, Lauren and Ben described Bebe as "full of joy, light, and love," emphasizing the deep bond she shared with her surviving sister, who witnessed the attack. The family is now focused on healing together amidst the unimaginable loss of Bebe and her friends, Elsie and Alice. The violent incident has ignited widespread anti-immigration protests and riots across various UK towns, fueled by misinformation on social media suggesting the attacker was an illegal migrant. This has added a layer of complexity to the community's grief, as they grapple with both the tragedy and the ensuing unrest. The police have confirmed that 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana has been charged with the murder of the three girls. In the wake of the attack, Alder Hey Children's Hospital reported that all injured children have been safely discharged, providing a glimmer of hope amid the sorrow.

They acknowledged that this outpouring of love has been a source of comfort during this harrowing time. As the community mourns, vigils have been held, including one for Alice, as friends and loved ones come together to honor the lives lost. The focus remains on healing and solidarity in the face of violence.
