SOUTHPORT, MERSEYSIDE, ENGLAND, JUL 8 – The inquiry will investigate agency failings that allowed Axel Rudakubana to kill three children at a workshop, aiming to prevent future violent extremism, officials said.

  • Today, the Southport Inquiry launches at Liverpool Town Hall, chaired by Sir Adrian Fulford.
  • The inquiry was initiated in January following Axel Rudakubana’s guilty plea to the murders of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed workshop in Southport, aiming to uncover systemic failures.
  • The inquiry will review evidence from 15 organisations, including MI5, NHS England, and Merseyside Police, plus Prevent referrals and police calls, to uncover systemic failings.
  • This week, two days of hearings will include impact statements from four families, resuming on September 8 at Liverpool Town Hall.
  • In its second phase next year, the inquiry will examine broader issues of children drawn into extreme violence and violent extremism.
