A man accused of stabbing three little girls to death is due to be sentenced in Britain today.

The 18-year-old man is charged with three murders and ten attempted murders, among other things. He has pleaded guilty to all charges.

The attack at a dance school in Southport, northwest England, last July was Britain’s worst mass stabbing in years. The attack killed three girls under the age of 10 and injured ten people, eight of whom were children.

The young man accused of the attack was 17 years old at the time of the attack.
