On the 29th of July, a 17-year-old ‘boy’ armed with a machete slaughtered three young girls who had gathered, with fellow 6-to-11-year-olds, for a girlie afternoon of Taylor Swift-themed yoga, dance, and drawing.
In the aftermath, the carnage count included, besides their precious little lives, eight other children and two adults who’d been horribly injured during the attack.
Police were tight-lipped on the assailant, citing his age.

But locals had a suspicion and started demanding answers as the shock wore off and outraged horror replaced it.
