The FBI and the US Justice Department have joined British authorities in investigating Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, following reports that he wiped his internet search history before carrying out his horrific attack. Rudakubana, 18, was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in January for the brutal murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July last year. His victims—Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven—were among those who lost their lives in the devastating attack.
He also attempted to murder eight other children, whose identities remain protected, as well as dance instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes. Now, British investigators have sought the expertise of American authorities to uncover potential digital evidence that may have been erased before the attack.
