A Southport survivor has called for a ban on pointed kitchen knives and revealed she is still too traumatised to use one herself following the horrific attack last year.
Leanne Lucas, 36, was critically injured after she tried to protect innocent children from a knifeman who went on a rampage during a dance class on July 19.
The primary school teacher was leading a group of young girls in a Taylor Swift-themed yoga class in Southport when Axel Rudakubana, 18, burst in and fatally stabbed Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.
In January the killer admitted to carrying out a 'meticulously planned rampage' which claimed the lives of the three young girls and was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years.
But for the counsellor-in-training, who was hailed as a hero for using her body as a shield to protect her pupils, it isn't enough.
