A Southport teen has admitted to murdering three girls, revealing he planned a school attack just a week prior to the stabbings
Southport: A tragic incident unfolded when Axel Rudakubana, just 18, confessed to killing three young girls. This happened during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event.
He admitted to the murders of Alice, Bebe, and Elsie, all under ten. It’s heartbreaking to think he had plans for a school attack just days before.
Rudakubana was only 17 at the time of the stabbings. He was caught wearing the same outfit he had on when he tried to reach his old school a week earlier.
His dad intervened, stopping him from taking a taxi to Range High School. It’s chilling to know he had a history of troubling behavior at that school.
He had previously brought a knife to school and even attacked classmates. It’s clear he struggled with serious issues, including autism spectrum disorder.
After the attack, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor Ursula Doyle called it an “unspeakable attack.” The families of the victims were understandably devastated and not present in court.
Southport MP Patrick Hurley expressed the community’s grief, saying the town would never be the same. Everyone is hoping for justice for the families affected.
Rudakubana is expected to receive a life sentence. The community is still healing from this tragedy, and it’s a tough time for everyone involved.
