Pleas of not guilty have been entered on behalf of Axel Rudakubana, 18, to three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder following the deaths of three young girls in a knife attack in Southport.
The pleas were submitted after he failed to reply when arraigned at Liverpool Crown Court.
Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven died during a knife attack whilst attending a Taylor Swift dance class at the Hart Space venue in Southport, Merseyside, on July 29.
Rudakubana was aged 17 at the time of the attack, which has not been declared terror-related, according to Merseyside Police.
