Axel Rudakubana has pleaded guilty to the murders of three young girls in Southport, revealing shocking details about his past.
Southport: So, this awful thing happened where an 18-year-old named Axel Rudakubana admitted to killing three little girls at a dance class. It all went down on the first day of his trial, which is just heartbreaking.
He was facing a bunch of charges at Liverpool Crown Court, including three counts of murder for Alice, Bebe, and Elsie, who were just kids. It’s gut-wrenching to think about.
Rudakubana, who was only 17 when he did this, also pleaded guilty to trying to hurt eight other kids and two adults. It’s just so tragic.
After he admitted to the murders, more details came out about him. Apparently, he had a history of violent behavior at school and had been referred to a counter-extremism program three times. That’s pretty alarming.
People are still trying to wrap their heads around how this could happen. The attack was so sudden and brutal, and it’s left a mark on the whole community.
It’s hard to believe that a quiet place like Southport could be shaken up like this. The local reverend even said it’s a kind place where nothing ever happens, and now everyone is just in shock.
