Okay, listen to this crazy story. Counter-terrorism police dropped a case three times. This involved the Southport killer guy. He had knives and searched about mass shootings online.

A report exposed big failures in the Prevent program. This program was supposed to stop Axel Rudakubana. He committed a scary attack last summer. They jailed Rudakubana for a minimum of 52 years.

Another review will see how to prevent future attacks. Rudakubana murdered three young girls on July 29. Bebe King was six. Elsie Dot Stancombe was seven. Alice Dasilva Aguiar was nine years old.

Security Minister Dan Jarvis gave details today. People reported the killer to Prevent three times. He was not sent for further monitoring after these reports.

The referrals came from schools he attended. The first report mentioned his knife and shooting searches. The second focused on Libya and Gadaffi online. The third cited searches for London bombings. It included the IRA and Israel-Palestine.

Each time, they decided not to move forward. Liverpool Crown Court heard awful details about the children. Their parents asked the media not to share them. Rudakubana got life in prison. Justice Goose said he’d kill more kids. The judge said he likely will never be free.
