A three-year-old girl who was among a group of nine adults and children stabbed at her own birthday party in the United States has died.
News of the girl's death came as accused man Timmy Kinner faced court for the first time after Saturday night's attack in Boise, Idaho.

Ada County Magistrate Judge Russell Comstock told Kinner he now had a first-degree murder charge added to his other charges.
Refugees from Syria, Iraq and Ethiopia were among the injured in the attack.
Boise, in the southwestern corner of the western state, has a population of about 220,000.
The state of Idaho has a small but growing immigrant population, accounting for about six percent of the total. Immigrants make up some 40 percent of the labor force in the farming and fishing sectors.
On Saturday, several thousand people marched outside the Idaho State Capitol in Boise to protest Trump administration immigration policies, one of many such rallies across the country.
