On Monday in Southport, Merseyside, a hooded male launched a brutal, unprovoked attack, killing two children and stabbing nine others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Six children and two adults who tried to help are in critical condition.

Merseyside Police reported the arrest of a 17-year-old boy. I prefer to refer to him as a male rather than a boy. The term ‘boy’ evokes the image of a young schoolboy who didn’t understand the gravity of his actions when he committed the stabbings. It remains to be seen if the suspect is actually 17.

Police arrested the male on suspicion of murder and attempted murder but cannot name the suspect for ‘legal reasons’. The police stated that he had moved to Southport with his Rwandan parents.

Some media outlets have identified the suspect as an asylum seeker, but it’s not confirmed yet. We’ll have to wait for the truth to come out. If it doesn’t, we’ll have to question why.

Merseyside Police confirmed that the counter-terror policing colleagues have offered assistance with the investigation.

King Charles sent a message of support to the victims’ families:

“My wife and I have been profoundly shocked to hear of the utterly horrific incident in Southport today. We send our most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones of those who have so tragically lost their lives and to all those affected by this truly appalling attack.”

Witnesses described hearing screams and seeing blood-soaked children running from the building. This horrific scene will have a profound effect on the lives of the survivors and witnesses. Let’s not forget that most of the victims are small children. They will likely develop PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), which could affect their entire lives.

I was diagnosed with PTSD after barely escaping a house fire. However, surviving or witnessing the horrific event in Southport is far worse than my own experience, and that’s an enormous understatement.

There’s no doubt that defence lawyers will do their utmost to argue that the accused was ‘not responsible for their actions’ because of ‘mental illness’ or ‘trauma’. I’m afraid I have to disagree with the old-fashioned view that if the accused was not of ‘sound mind’ when committing the murder, then the accused cannot be found guilty of murder. Anyone who commits murder is not of a ‘sound mind’. How can they be?

The legal system is fond of giving prisoners early release, also known as parole. I recently read about a case where a prisoner was given three life sentences for two murders and multiple rapes. During his trial, the judge stated that he should never be released. Despite this, the prisoner has a parole hearing this year after serving 35 years. It was revealed during a previous trial that he was jailed for seven years for his first rape but was granted parole after only a few years. Shockingly, shortly after his release, he committed a murder.

Let’s hope that if the person responsible for the Southport Stabbings is convicted, they should serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. Furthermore, they should be in solitary confinement for life with no access to television, newspapers, or the internet. No doubt, some people on the Far Left will say that this is cruel and unusual punishment. But what about the cruel and unusual actions inflicted on those young children in Southport?

I hope the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is revealed about this terrible event.
