Hero window cleaner tackled ‘wanted to hurt’ Southport stabber badly

A hero window cleaner who tackled the Southport stabber as he unleashed a ‘ferocious’ attack on young girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class has revealed he wanted to ‘hurt him so bad’.

Joel Verite stopped at the scene of Monday’s savage attack, which has so far claimed the lives of three girls, with seven more people left in a critical condition.

The 25-year-old rushed headlong into the carnage after coming to the aid of a screaming woman – who then demanded: ‘Forget about me, there’s a fella in there stabbing kids’.

Mr Verite said he sprinted into the building where the mayhem was taking place and saw children and adults covered in blood – before then ‘locking eyes’ with the knifeman at the top of the stairs. 

The young father, who is also a personal trainer, then charged at the attacker, wrestling with him before later carrying stabbed girls away from the scene. 

Speaking out for the first time about the ordeal, Mr Verite told Sky News: ‘I look up and there’s this guy with a knife. I just wanted to hurt him so bad. But I was scared for myself and I wanted to help people.’

BREAKING NEWS

Dance class stabbing victim, 9, pictured as family reveal parents are ‘desolate and broken’

The child victims have today been named as six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar. 

Yoga instructor Leanne Lucas, who was leading the dance class with colleague Heidi Barlow, was also among those injured and is in hospital. 

Five further children, aged between six and 11, were in a critical condition alongside two female adults, among those Ms Lucas.

Alder Hey Children’s hospital this afternoon released a statement confirming that seven children had been taken to the site for treatment. One of those was Alice, and of the others, two remain in a critical condition, a spokesperson said. 

A 17-year-old boy, from the nearby Lancashire village of Banks, remains in custody accused of murder and attempted murder and is being questioned following the incident. 

The ‘introverted’ suspect was born in Cardiff after his family moved from Rwanda – then moved north to Merseyside about ten years ago.

Describing how the tragedy unfolded, Mr Verite said: ‘We were just listening to music in our own world, then he [his colleague] slammed on the brakes and all I can see from my side is a girl hanging from the side of her car.

‘I jumped out the car and I just asked her if she was alright. She just looked in complete shock and had blood all over her body.

‘She just screamed at me: ‘He’s killing kids over there, he’s killing kids over there’.’

Speaking about coming face to face with the attacker, he added: ‘I run towards the door, the entrance and exit to the dance studio.

‘There were two men in the gym where I used to go to … they’re pointing to the dance studio saying ‘he’s in there’.

‘I open the door downstairs … there’s a guy at the bottom of the stairs with a full tracksuit, his hood up, with a knife.

Heartbreaking floral tributes and teddy bears were left at the scene of the attack on Tuesday afternoon

Firefighters from Merseyside joined members of the public in paying tribute to those killed and injured in the stabbings

‘We’ve looked at each other and he’s scurried off to the side.’

Asked what was going through his head when he and the knifeman saw each other, the window cleaner said: ‘I’m thinking things that I’m not allowed to say on Sky News right now.

‘I’m really scared, all I saw was a knife … I’m there by myself at the bottom of the stairs.’

Mr Verite said he smashed the door to prevent the knifeman escaping before returning to the car park.

‘I came outside and I’m hectic now because I’ve seen the guy. I’m screaming because I knew where he was,’ he recalled.  

Brave Leanne Lucas, 35, (pictured) who organised the Taylor Swift-themed workshop, suffered stab injuries after the man entered the venue through the unlocked door, which was left open amid the scorching heat

The local teacher saved 16 children as the 25-strong class aged between six and 11, while nine children were taken to hospital. One has since died, with five still in a critical condition

She organised the dance, yoga and bracelet making workshop in Southport with Heidi Barlow, also 35, a fellow dance teacher, (pictured) who advertised the event as being for ‘Swifties’ 

The attack happened at a Taylor Swift-themed workshop on Hart Street in Southport. Police later swooped on a property in Banks, five miles away

Taylor Swift said she is ‘completely in shock’ after the ‘horror’ of the Southport knife attack 

‘I was screaming ‘where’s the police, where’s the police?’.’

Mr Verite said it ‘felt like a lifetime’ before police officers swooped on the scene.

The window cleaner, a new father, said it was ‘one of the hardest things’ he has ever witnessed.

In the interview, he continued: ‘These children weren’t crying – they were absolutely terrified – if that makes sense.

‘Their parents turn up in absolute hysterics and they scream and cry that they want to go into the building, but they’re not allowed to because it’s a crime scene.

‘They ask me questions wanting to know information. It’s heartbreaking.

‘It made me feel disgusted and really upset for all the parents and all the children who had to go through that yesterday.

‘I’m not going to label myself a hero. I’m happy that I’ve done what I’ve done, and I’m happy that I’ve at least managed to save at least one life – if not more.’

The knifeman was later ‘tackled down to the floor’ by police, he added.

The families of the victims today paid tribute as they try and come to terms with the tragedy.

In a statement, Bebe’s family said: ‘No words can describe the devastation that has hit our family as try to deal with the loss of our little girl Bebe.’

The family of Alice also paid tribute to their ‘princess’.

They said: ‘Keep smiling and dancing like you love to do our Princess, like we said before to you, you’re always our princess and no one would change that. Love from Your Hero Daddy and Mummy.’

Devastated relatives of Alice said she had been taken by a ‘despicable human being.’

Her mother Alexandra Aguiar is understood to be originally from Caracas in Venezuela and her dad David Aguiar is from the Portuguese island of Madeira.

Relative Carina Aguiar, a hotel worker who lives in Camara de Lobos in Madeira, posted a link on her social media to news Merseyside Police had confirmed a third child’ had died following the attack and wrote tear emojis beside it.

Earlier she posted a photo of a black ribbon on her Facebook alongside Alice’s name after writing in an emotional tribute: ‘Princess Alice. In this moment of great pain my soul hurts, my body hurts, my mind hurts. I have a lump in my throat.

‘You were just an innocent child, a happy smiley girl with a bright life ahead of you which a despicable human being took away from you, without pity, for no reason.’

The head of the school trust attended by Alice and Bebe said the girls ‘will be in our hearts forever’.

Endeavour Learning Trust chief executive David Clayton said ‘no words can do justice to what has happened here in Southport.

The trust contains Churchtown Primary School in Southport, THPT – lambangcapgiarenhat.com, which Alice and Bebe had both attended.

Churchtown Primary headteacher Jinnie Payne said the school had heard the ‘tragic news’ with ‘great sadness’, describing the stabbings as an ‘atrocity’.

In a statement, Mr Clayton said: ‘No words can do justice to what has happened here in Southport – and our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their children.

‘No one should ever have to experience horror like this.

‘Our immediate focus now is on providing support to the community as we start to understand what has happened. The death of a child is always a desperate tragedy for a school, and particularly so under such circumstances.

‘We will come together as a community, offering each other support and care as we work through this difficult time.

‘Alice and Bebe will be in our hearts forever.’

Ms Payne said Alice, a Year 4 pupil at Churchtown, was the ‘happiest of souls, a true ray of sunshine’.

The Churchtown Primary headteacher added: ‘She was known and loved by everyone in our school community of 700 children, a testament to her unique ability to connect with others.

‘Alice’s radiant smile brightened our days, and she embraced every aspect of school life with enthusiasm and joy.

‘Her kindness, playful nature, and zest for trying new things will forever be remembered. Alice, you will always hold a special place in our hearts at Churchtown.’

Ms Payne said Bebe, a former pupil at the school, was a ‘joyful girl’ whose ‘kindness radiated through the entire Churchtown community’.

The headteacher added: ‘During her time at the school, Bebe’s considerate nature and her love of learning shone through in everything that she did.

‘Each day, she would come into school ready to grasp every opportunity available to her and fun and laughter were never far away whenever Bebe was involved.

‘Her considerate nature meant that she had many friends and she always ensured all children felt included, whether that was through play or working together in the classroom.

‘Bebe’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.’

The headteacher added: ‘We know that a number of other children from Churchtown were also involved in the attack, along with much-loved colleagues.

‘We extend our heartfelt wishes to all those families affected by this horrific incident, including those currently in hospital or continuing to receive treatment.’

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer visited Southport this afternoon and thanked emergency service workers who responded to the knife attack, telling them: ‘I hope you feel proud of the part that you played in the most difficult circumstances, to do what you could for those young lives.’ 

He added: ‘It is sometimes really important in life just to come and say a simple thank you to all of you, so let me do that, on behalf of myself, on behalf of the government, on behalf of the country – thank you.’

The fully-booked club for children, which was advertised as a dance and yoga workshop as well as bracelet-making, quickly became something ‘like a horror movie’, witnesses to the deadly stabbings have said.

At the scene today, flowers and teddies were left by the police cordon. One message in a ‘Thinking Of You’ card said ‘thoughts and prayers’ are with those affected and was signed: ‘Love – Southport.’ Another said: ‘Fly high with angels little ones.’ 

In a social media post, Taylor Swift shared her horror at the ‘loss of life and innocence’ at the workshop.

She wrote: ‘The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock.

‘The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families, and first responders.

‘These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.’

class=”nodetitle”>high school

First of all, a disclaimer: This node will cover the history and current state of public American high schools. The evolution of private and/or foreign high schools will not be covered; however, I will contrast the current American public school system with international school systems2 I was PLANNING to contrast the American public school system with international models, but the writeup just got too friggin’ long.

History

In relation to the span of human teaching, the modern American school system is quite new. While education has existed since children watched their parents hit furry creatures with stones, the cohesive, (relatively) efficient machine called the American school system has only been around for about 150 years.

The year is 1837. Thomas Jefferson died nine years ago, and now, the liberal state of Massachusetts created a state board of education. The board’s first secretary, Horace Mann, is oft credited with the rejuvenation of the educational system in Massachusetts.

Mann roved the entire state, interviewing and gathering data. He wrote up his findings into candid reports, sparing nothing and nobody. Of course, he made enemies, but after twelve years and his resignation, he had done an amazing feat.

During his reign, school appropriations had doubled. Teachers were paid more; they were also expected to teach more. Massachusetts built three state-sponsored schools to assist the teachers; these schools were the first of their kind in America.

The idea that forcing children to learn the same material was good had taken root in Massachusetts. Henry Barnard, quieter and more reserved than Mann, achieved in Connecticut and Rhode Island similar results to that of Mann. The idea flowered, and began to spread its seeds…

These schools focused on primary education. Once the common school was firmly entrenched, people began to wonder if it would be beneficial to allow children to extend their education. Thus, the high school was born.

The first high school opened in Boston in 1821. Originally known as the English Classical School, the institution was soon called the English High School. In 1825 New York followed suit, opening the first high school outside of New England.

However, the general idea of a secondary, tax-supported school system remained in contention until the 1870s, when Michigan’s supreme court declared that the high school was a necessary part of the state’s public institution.

From that point, the general format of education stayed wholly consistent, while a number of landmarks made sudden and significant changes, such as desegregation, bussing, etcetera. The material taught, on the other hand, slowly evolved as new discoveries were made.

Current State:

Most likely, you’ve already read the ‘angsty teen bullshit’ that fills the rest of this node. That is, for the most part, the general consensus amongst geeks regarding high school. A place that sucks, at its best. I will try and take a slightly less emotional approach, although it should be noted that I generally agree with the above nodes. The following draws largely upon my own high school; others WILL be different. I present mine only as an example.

There are three main types of high school in the United States. There is the common public high school; I refer to that most of the time when I speak of a high school.

There are also vocational high schools. These are designed to allow people to learn an economically useful skill, such as plumbing, carpentry, etc. A certain amount of vocational training is built into the common public high school; however, if you truly wish to learn one trade at an early age, this is for you.

Behind door number three, and by far the least common, lies the specialized school. They often teach music; many teach a more traditional kind of art. Some even teach science. See High School of Music and Art in New York City and the Bronx High School of Science

As jw_rush notes, the American high school system is broken up thusly: After completing kindergarten and first through sixth grade, students will usually go to middle- or junior high- school for two years. After this, they will proceed to high school. At 18 (or later, should they be held back) they will graduate and go beyond the free, public, state-sponsored, tax-supported school system. Some will get jobs and begin work immediately; others will go to college for however long is necessary and/or feasible.

Due to state-, rather than government- sponsorship, curriculums vary somewhat from state to state. Of course, to a lesser degree, they also vary district-to-district, and even year-to-year.

All high schools teach the basics: English, History / Social Studies, Science, Mathematics. Most also include a foreign language (French or Spanish are favorites). Music, either through an instrument or chorus, is often found, as are artistic courses. Health and Physical Education are staples of the American high school.

Electives vary from school to school; the wealthier the neighborhood, the more enriching the curriculum will be. Subjects such as Home Economics, Keyboarding, and Cooking can be found in nearly all schools. Programming, Metalworking and Business Law are examples of what may be found in a wealthier institution.

Courses are usually the basics plus a few electives. A computer mixes and matches the students to create a schedule where everyone gets courses they like, and no teacher is too overburdened.

Theoretically.

This is done some weeks or even months before school starts, in order for the students to have proper notification.

At the beginning of the school year (normally late August or early September), pupils have a week or so to ‘get oriented,’ where assignments are sparse and weak. Summer assignments may be scrutinized during this adjustment period.

The standard courses are generally split up so that bricks my be spit out uniformly. That is to say, ‘intelligent’ kids are lumped with ‘intelligent’ kids, while ‘normal’ kids attend classes with other ‘normal’ kids.

The high school I am familiar with classifies its courses thusly, in ascending order of knowledge required: Fundamental, Standard, College Placement (CP), Honors, and Advanced Placement (AP).

The day, for the students, starts as early as six o’clock in the morning, when they get up to have breakfast, shower, etc, before the bus comes to whisk them to school. Some kids are driven by their parents, or they walk, but they remain in the minority. The day begins at school around eight AM, when homeroom and announcements are over, and classes begin.

The students have seven (plus or minus a few) periods per day. These periods can range from a half-hour to an hour and a half in length. Five minutes are given to shuffle between classes, book bags slung low on the back. It seems that book bags are allowed to be carried with students at all times; this came as a pleasant surprise to somebody who had been forced to struggle with ungainly piles of books and papers daily.

Homework is usually given at the end of each class; the amount varies, although it seems like a total of two hours of work per night, five days a week, is considered ideal.

Midway through the day, the drones march to the cafeteria, where they buy glop, which they proceed to eat. 2 High school food should have a node of it’s own, and probably does. I will not discuss it here.

Homework, test averages, class attendance, and whatever else the teacher feels like including are tallied at the 14, 12, 3/4, and at the end of the school year. The teachers give each of their students a grade. For each individual student, a report card is written up, listing the various grades that they have accumulated throughout the year in their courses.

The exact grades vary from school to school; some classes give pass/fail rather than percentage marks; some give Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory / Outstanding marks. These are from my school; YMMV:

Letter Grade || Percentage

A || 93-100

B || 85-92

C || 77-84

D || 70-76

F || 69 or below

It is customary for two large exams1 to be given at the halfway point and at the end of the school year; these are known as the midterms and the Finals. Plurals are due to the fact that all of the classes, even most of the electives, have their tests during the same two week period.

At the end of the year, the grades are tallied. If a person has collected enough points in each course, a quarter-credit is awarded for each marking period that the disciple has taken the course for. If enough credits have been accumulated, then the student is passed, ushered into the next level. A freshman (9th grade) becomes a sophomore (10th grade) becomes a junior (11th grade) becomes a senior (12th grade) becomes graduated.

Should the student fail to accumulate enough credits (that is, fails enough courses, or fails English), then they are held back: they must repeat that grade until they complete the curriculum to the satisfaction of their teachers.

There are a number of complaints about the American school system; some are legitimate, some are not. I will not cover any here, other than to say that I personally believe that the school system has done a hell of a good job at what it does.

And now for something completely different:

1 I always have preferred the French term for a quiz: L’interro. Makes me all warm and tingly inside as I think of a torturing….

2 Random Facts about the French Educational System

The 12th grade is entirely optional. (Update:Linca says: School is compulsory until 16, and baccalaureat is nearly compulsory to get to University. How you score on it isn’t as important as getting it.

However, most attend, in order to gain an edge…

On the test from Hell.

Imagine the SATs, five times as hard and fifty times as important.

You’re getting closer.

Known as the baccalauréat, informally as le bac, this test determines the future of whoever takes it. Do poorly on the test, and you are almost guaranteed to be barred from the best jobs; fail the test entirely, and you”ll be lucky if you get a job at all.Update: mkb says: “Splitting” to spit out bricks uniformly is called “class tracking”. Scheduling is getting more complicated with blocks and stuff. The diminutif of baccalauréat is spelled “le bac”, not le bacc. French students may get wednesdays off, but they have an 8 hour day AND they have to go in Saturday mornings!

It is said that the teenage suicide rate increases sixfold around the time of le bac; I do not know the veracity of the origin of the rumor, but it does not seem entirely unlikely.

French kids also get two hours per day for lunch, which isn’t always held on school grounds, and they also get Wednesdays off.

The French grading system is done on a 1 to 20 point scale. It is a very harsh grading system; 10 or 12 points is the average. Students usually hover just above the point of failing. A grade above 17 is extremely rare, and usually reserved for when the teacher is taught something significant by the student.

Sister pays tribute to headteacher and daughter shot dead by husband

The sister of a headteacher who was shot dead by her husband during a shotgun rampage in which he also killed their daughter says ‘We will never really know why.’

Epsom College head Emma Pattison and daughter Lettie, seven, were found dead at their home within the grounds of the exclusive £42,000-a-year boarding school in Surrey in February last year, alongside the body of George Pattison.  

An inquest was previously told Mrs Pattison, 45, died of shotgun wounds to the chest and abdomen on February 5 2023, while little Lettie was shot in the head.

Both are believed to have been murdered by 39-year-old chartered accountant Mr Pattison, before he killed himself with the double-barrelled firearm.

Speaking outside Surrey Coroner’s Court at the conclusion of the inquest, Deborah Kirk, the sister of Mrs Pattison, said the day they died was ‘just one’ day of their lives out of thousands.

‘Today we heard about death, we heard about bodies, guns, about killings, unlawful deaths, about suicide,’ she said.

Lettie, seven, and her mother Emma Pattison, 45, were both found dead on February 5 2023 at their home in the grounds of exclusive Epsom College boarding school in Surrey, where Mrs Pattison was head teacher

Emma and Lettie are believed to have been murdered by George Pattison, pictured with them, before he took his own life on February 5

Pictured is where the family were found dead on the grounds of the exclusive £42,000-a-year Surrey boarding school 

‘We heard about what cartridge pellets do to the body of a 45-year-old woman, and to that of a seven-year-old little girl.

‘We heard about times, places, scenes, we didn’t hear about why. We will never really know why. But as we listen to this unbelievable account of death and family tragedy, we remember this.

‘Emma lived around 16,000 days, Lettie lived nearly 3,000, this was just one of those days. Yes it was their last, and undoubtedly their worst, but it was just one.

‘These were people, not just bodies lying in a house of horrors, these were people.’

She said she hoped the death of her sister and niece would lead to ‘some shift’ that would save the lives of other victims of domestic violence.

The inquest heard that Mr Pattison had a firearm licence for the shotgun used in the killings, but medical records showing that he had been prescribed anxiety medication were not available to the police as he used an online doctor.

 Richard Travers, Senior Coroner for Surrey,  today concluded that Emma and Lettie were unlawfully killed, having been shot by Pattison. He also concluded that Pattison died by suicide and intended the act.

The news came as the court heard how a worried Mrs Pattinson had told her sister her husband had hit her hours before the slaughter of the respected educator and her daughter.

Evidence from Deborah Kirk, the sister of Mrs Pattison, was read to the inquest at Surrey Coroner’s Court in Woking on Tuesday.

She said she received a phone call from her sister just before 11pm on February 4, telling her that her husband had hit her and their dog, Bella.

She said her sister told her: ‘I need someone to come over.’

Her sister’s tone of voice was one of ‘concern, but not of terror’.

‘It was more like she had assessed the situation and did not feel safe,’ she said.

Epsom College headteacher killed by her husband died of shotgun wounds to chest and abdomen while daughter, seven, died from shotgun blast to the head, inquest hears 

She said she and her husband, Mark Miller, got an Uber to her sister’s home just after 11pm.

‘I kept trying to call Emma but there was still no answer,’ she said.

She added: ‘By the time we had arrived at Emma’s house I was getting really worried that she was not answering her phone.’

When they arrived at the house, all of the lights were on and the cars were in the driveway.

Her husband entered the house ahead of her, and then stopped her from coming in any further once she entered.

‘He said don’t go in there, don’t go in there, we are going outside,’ she said.

Following their deaths, heartbroken family said they believed Emma and Lettie would remain as inseparable in death as they were in life

The family described Lettie, pictured, as ‘Emma’s pride and joy – an adorable, vibrant little girl with a compelling curiosity, a heart-melting smile and an intellect beyond her years’

Mr Pattison only moved into the grace-and-favour home at the school, pictured, three weeks before the murder-suicide, it was previously reported (pictured is Epsom College)

Her husband called an ambulance, and paramedics arrived on the scene shortly afterwards.

Ms Kirk also read out a tribute to her sister and niece at the inquest.

‘Emma was lightness itself,’ she said.

She said her sister was ‘smart’ and kind in a way that ‘fills a room’ and ‘drives change’.

She described her niece, Lettie, as ‘razor smart, curious, and disarmingly cute.’

She said she would comfort her niece whenever she was sad.

‘I would hold her in my arms and say, yes it is hard to be seven, isn’t it monkey?’ she said.

Ms Kirk said she was still trying to forgive Mr Pattison.

‘I can only speak for myself when I say that I am trying to forgive you,’ she said.

She added: chung chi – https://lambangcapgiarenhat.com/category/lam-bang-cap-3/, ‘I can only imagine that you were in an extraordinary hell of your own.’

The inquest heard that Mrs Pattison watched rugby with her friends in the hours before she died.

Emma and her daughter were found dead at their home in the grounds of Epsom College in Surrey after a distressed Mrs Pattison, 45, called her sister

The last friend left at 7pm, and Mrs Pattison then received a Chinese takeaway at 9.36pm.

In evidence read out to the court by the coroner, the delivery driver said: ‘She had a smiley face and seemed okay.’

The inquest heard that a post-mortem report found that Mr Pattison’s cause of death was a shotgun wound.

It also found that Mrs Pattison and Lettie’s causes of death were shotgun wounds.

A toxicology report found that George had 243 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, a quantity that is associated with a ‘high to extreme’ level of intoxication.

A statement released by Mrs Pattison and Lettie’s family after their deaths said:  ‘To see the esteem in which Emma is held by all who knew her is an enormous comfort. 

‘She was everything one could hope for in a daughter, sister, mother, wife, friend, teacher and so much more. 

‘We are an extremely close family and family was at the centre of Emma and Lettie’s universe.

‘The Epsom College community had become part of that universe for them both. 

‘Seven-year-old Lettie was Emma’s pride and joy – an adorable, vibrant little girl with a compelling curiosity, a heart-melting smile and an intellect beyond her years. 

‘The two of them were inseparable and we take comfort in that they will remain so.’
