A man who was among the first on the scene of the Southport knife attack where three girls were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party has said “it was just something you literally see in a horror film”.
At one point personal trainer Joel Verite, 26, who ran to the studio three times to try and help the children to safety, including two of the girls who eventually died, came face-to-face with killer Axel Rudakubana.
The police and paramedics arrived and Mr Verite managed to pick up Bebe from the floor as he ran and shouted for help.
Mr Verite told the paper: “I looked up and literally he’s come and circled round and looked at me.
Mr Verite took his T-shirt off to help stem the blood and he and his friend started performing CPR on her.
