00:00The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised Merseyside Police to charge a 17-year-old boy of Banks, Lancashire
00:07with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder
00:11following the tragic incident that took place in Southport this week.
00:15He will appear at Liverpool City Magistrates' Court on Thursday 1st August 2024.
00:21We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active
00:27and that he has a right to a fair trial.
00:30It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online
00:37which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.
00:41Our thoughts remain with families of all those affected by these harrowing events.
00:47Good evening, Serena Kennedy, Chief Constable, Merseyside Police.
00:51As the Crown Prosecution Service have said, a 17-year-old boy from Banks
00:56has been charged with the murders of Bebe, Elsie Dot and Alice,
01:03ten counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article
01:07following the tragic incident in Southport on Monday 29th July.
01:12The 17-year-old cannot be named for legal reasons as he is under 18.
01:18He has been remanded in custody to appear tomorrow, Thursday 1st August
01:23at Liverpool Magistrates' Court, Derby Square.
01:27Whilst these charges are a significant milestone within this investigation,
01:33this remains very much a live investigation
01:36and we continue to work with our partners from Lancashire Police
01:40and Counter Terrorism Policing North West.
01:43I would like to thank all the forces who have offered and supplied support to Merseyside Police
01:48during the last three days
01:50and I can confirm that we are being supported with investigative resources from across the North West.
