Southport families call for accountability as inquiry evidence concludes

Families highlight widespread agency failures and call for systemic reform after nine-week inquiry into the Southport attack that killed three girls and injured 10 others.

  • On Thursday, nine weeks of hearings at Liverpool Town Hall ended as the families of the three girls murdered by the Southport attacker demanded accountability for agency failings.
  • The inquiry was set up to establish why agencies missed chances to prevent the July 29 last year attack, when Axel Rudakubana, attacker , killed three children and attempted to murder 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
  • The inquiry uncovered a prolific scale of missed opportunities across multiple agencies, with Broudie Jackson Canter and Nicola Brook saying the volume of errors shocked clients and Prevent referrals surged post-attack.
  • Families urged both parental and institutional accountability, saying Alphonse Rudakubana and Laetitia Muzayire should be held to account; the second phase of the public inquiry will examine risks from violent fixations.
  • Calls for system strengthening and legislative change followed phase one, with victims urging lawmakers and authorities to enact urgent reforms and Sir Adrian Fulford, inquiry chairman, expected to complete a report by next spring.
