Southport teacher 'hid youngster in toilet as killer raged'

- By Chris Riches

"The girls' screaming and fearing for our lives still haunts me'

A DANCE teacher who hid with a child in a toilet during the Southport stabbings yesterday told an inquiry of her "crushing" guilt.

Heidi Liddle was in tears as she gave impact evidence to the hearing at Liverpool Town Hall.

The mother of two said: "The girls' screaming and fearing for our lives haunts me to this day." Ms Liddle said she was returning to work after maternity leave when she was asked to be a guest dance teacher at the Taylor Swift-themed workshop on July 29 last year.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, killed Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine; Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, in the knife attack and attempted to murder eight other children and two adults, including workshop teacher Leanne Lucas.
