The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons and is originally from Cardiff,
moved to the Southport area with his when he was aged six.







The attack began just before midday in Southport, Merseyside, as the children, some as young as six, were enjoying the workshop at the beginning of the school holidays.

Six of the wounded children remained in a critical condition on Monday night and were being treated at hospitals across the North West.

Two adults were present at the dance and yoga class and tried to intervene. They were also being treated for stab wounds and were said to be in a critical condition.

Merseyside Police confirmed that a 17-year-old boy, from the village of Banks, about five miles away from Southport, had been arrested and was being questioned on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

A mother has maintained her innocence as she was led into custody for forcing her 20-year-old daughter to marry a man who would later murder her.





Sakina Muhammad Jan, 48, told Victorian County Court Judge Fran Dalziel through an interpreter that she has not done anything wrong.

The judge on Monday morning jailed her for three years for forcing her daughter Ruqia Haidari to marry Mohammad Ali Halimi in August 2019.


Jan initially refused to sign the recognisance order, maintaining she could not accept it.

'I've done nothing wrong I cannot accept... I cannot be locked in,' she said, in an emotional outburst, via an interpreter.

Her son also told the court it was shameful his mother was being sent to prison after losing her daughter.

Jan coerced Ms Haidari into the marriage after the 20-year-old's first arranged marriage ended in divorce.


Ms Haidari was considered 'bewa' by the Hazara community, meaning she had lost her value.

Jan arranged the second marriage to try and restore her family's reputation despite her daughter's objections, prosecutor Darren Renton SC told the court.

Halimi killed his young bride five months after their wedding and is serving a life prison term for her murder.

A jury in May found Jan guilty of causing a person to enter into a forced marriage.

She is the first person in Australia to be sentenced on the charge after it was criminalised more than a decade ago.

Judge Dalziel told Jan she had abused her power as a mother.

'While you believed you were acting in (Ms Haidari's) best interests, you were not in fact doing so,' the judge said.

Jan cried and one of her family members collapsed as she was led from the court and into custody.

She was placed into the back of an ambulance about 30 minutes later.

The bystander said about 10 youths of Sudanese appearance stood and watched the victim, who was also African, bleed from severe wounds to his upper body and hand after he was set upon outside the CS Square shopping centre in Caroline Springs on Thursday afternoon.

He said that rather than help the group of teenagers instead filmed the injured teenager, who the Good Samaritan said had cuts too large to have been made by a kitchen or household knife and that had to have been made by “something like a machete”.

“There was blood everywhere, all over me,” he told the Herald Sun, adding that he feared the victim, aged about 17, would die as he held his head in his hands.

“I saw so many people standing around, there were so many not helping beside one person.

“He was in and out of consciousness throughout the process, I was just trying to keep him awake and keep him alive.”

The teenage victim was stabbed by a group of thugs who jumped out of a car at the back of the Coles supermarket at the shopping centre and fled through the loading bay.

Victoria Police said they arrived at 5.15pm and found a male in his late teens with injuries to his hand and body, who was then taken to Royal Melbourne Hospital with possibly life-threatening injuries.

As of Friday morning he was still in a critical condition.

The horrific attack comes after a 15-year-old boy was allegedly stabbed by a gang of Asian teenagers armed with machetes in the suburb of Springvale on Sunday night.

Victoria have since charged four males, aged 14, 15, 16 and 17, over that alleged attack.

Is this Australian culture that we have been searching for:

Boy videos a brutal stabbing attack.

Bystander watches the boy videoing the attack.

A self-professed good samaritan creates another story viewpoint.

Is Australian culture voyeurism and self-aggrandisement?
