A teenager who killed three girls at a dance class had attempted to visit his old school just days prior, raising serious concerns.
Rudakubana had a troubled past, having been excluded from school for carrying a knife. He even returned to the school later and attacked someone with a hockey stick. It’s chilling to think about how he planned the attack on July 29 at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club, where he killed Alice, Bebe, and Elsie.
In court, he initially denied the charges but changed his plea on the first day of the trial, admitting to multiple counts, including producing poison and possessing extremist material. His family had moved from Rwanda to the UK, and neighbors described them as ordinary, but there were signs of trouble with Rudakubana’s behavior from a young age.
He had attended two specialist schools after being excluded, but his attendance was shockingly low. Reports say he struggled to communicate with his family and refused to engage with psychiatrists. It’s heartbreaking to see how things escalated to such a tragic end.
