Southport Attacker Axel Rudakubana Referred to Anti-Extremism Scheme Prevent Three Times

  • Axel Rudakubana was referred to the government's counter-terrorism prevent programme several times before the attack due to his general obsession with violence, government sources have told the BBC.
  • On Monday, the 18-year-old admitted to stabbing three young girls to death in July last year at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
  • Despite his violent actions, police never treated his case as terror-related, as he did not follow a specific ideology.
  • The Crown Prosecution Service described Rudakubana as a 'young man with a sickening and sustained interest in death and violence' after he admitted to his crimes.
