Leanne Lucas, who was seriously injured trying to protect children, says she plans to speak out more after trial

A dance teacher who survived the knife attack in Southport where three children were killed has said she is hoping her voice “will get louder and louder” after the trial of her alleged attacker.

Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Bebe King, six, were killed in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on 29 July, and 10 other people were injured, eight of them children.
