An 18-year-old British teenager, Axel Rudakubana, was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in jail for a brutal attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in Southport, England. The incident, which took place last July, resulted in the deaths of three young girls and injuries to 10 others.
Rudakubana, who admitted to the killings and stabbings, displayed an obsession with violence and genocide, as revealed during the trial at Liverpool Crown Court. The court heard that two of the victims suffered sadistic injuries, with one victim enduring at least 122 sharp force injuries.
