Cristina Jones, from Trowbridge in Wiltshire, started the JustGiving page which has received donations from fans worldwide for the charity supporting the hospital where some of the victims are being treated.
“What compelled us was we were thinking about the fact that these families are going through just unimaginable hell right now,” Jones told the PA news agency.
“It feels really nice we’ve done something really positive.
“I firmly believe there’s nothing we can do to make the families feel better because of what they’re going through right now, but if we’ve taken some sort of burden from them, financial or whatever, it’s nice to know that we’ve done what we can do.”
in Southport
Forensics officers have seized the car that conveyed the Southport stabbing suspect to the scene of the crime.
The 17-year-old took a taxi from the village of Banks, which is around five miles away, directly to Hart Street. He was then involved in a brief altercation with the driver and two bystanders after he refused to pay the fare.
The driver’s car has now been seized by Merseyside police for forensic examination, other taxi drivers working in Southport said. The suspect remains in custody while investigations are ongoing.
