A disturbed teenager who murdered three girls in a mass stabbing at a children’s dance class in Southport, and later gloated “I’m glad they’re dead”, is unlikely to be released from prison.
Axel Rudakubana, 18, was sentenced to life on Thursday with a minimum of 52 years for carrying out the horrific attack which was described as a “pre-meditated attempt to commit indiscriminate mass murder”.
