The families of the killed children themselves went out with the pictures of their daughters. The relatives are now receiving professional help and are asking to be left alone.
“Keep smiling and dancing as you loved to do, our princess. As we told you before, you will always be our princess and no one will change that,” Alice's family wrote in a statement.
A further five children and two adults are being treated for life-threatening injuries. The suspect, an arrested 17-year-old, has an immigrant background from Rwanda in Africa.
The motive for the attack is still unclear.
