Southport inquiry blames killer’s parents

The Southport attack would not have happened if the killer’s parents had done “what they morally ought to have done”, an inquiry has found.

Axel Rudakubana, then 17, killed three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29 2024 and attempted to murder 10 others.

An inquiry into the incident heard that the teenager’s parents, Alphonse Rudakubana and Laetitia Muzayire, knew their son was hoarding knives, was accessing violent content online and had been making poison in his room.
