Axel Rudakubana, 18, was sentenced to at least 52 years in prison for the brutal stabbing attack at a dance class in Southport, England, that killed three young girls and injured ten others. The attack sparked nationwide riots fueled by false information about the perpetrator's identity circulating on social media.
A British teenager who killed three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class has been jailed for at least 52 years in a crime that shocked Britain and triggered days of nationwide rioting.
In his sentencing remarks, he said: “I am sure Rudakubana had the settled determination to carry out these offences and had he been able to, he would have killed each and every child – all 26 of them.”“He will serve almost the whole of his life in custody. I consider it likely he will never be released and he will be in custody for all of his life.”
Since Rudakubana pleaded guilty, a portrait of a deeply troubled young man obsessed with violence has emerged, as has the fact that he was on the radar of the local authorities for years before the attack.
