Amazon is under scrutiny after a knife was delivered to the parent of a Southport killer, raising serious safety concerns
Southport: So, here’s the scoop. Amazon accidentally delivered a knife to the parent of a kid who ended up being a killer. Crazy, right?
The delivery driver handed over the package to someone at Axel Rudakubana’s home. This person looked over 25, so the driver thought it was all good.
Amazon has these age checks in place, but it turns out Rudakubana found a way around them. He used some software to hide his info and trick the system.
He bought two kitchen knives with long blades just a couple of weeks before he committed the awful crime. It’s just shocking how he managed to get his hands on them.
Police found other weapons at his place too, like crossbow arrows and a machete. It’s a real mess, and it raises questions about how safe these online sales are.
Amazon claims they take selling knives seriously and are looking into how this happened. They say they have strict rules, but clearly, something went wrong.
They still list the same knife on their site for a couple of bucks, but they remind buyers that they need to be over 18 to order it. It’s a tough situation all around.
In the end, it’s a tragic case that has everyone talking about online safety and how to keep dangerous items out of the wrong hands.
