Nelka, a 12-year-old schoolgirl, died on Thursday from injuries she suffered in a knife attack at her school. The attack took place two days earlier, on Tuesday 29 September, at a primary school in Staškov, a village in Slovakia's Čadca district. The wording of the report suggests her death was not the first loss of life in the assault. The outlet announcing the news described it as an extremely sad development.
