The family of Axel Rudakubana are “devastated” following his knife attack on a Southport holiday club, the church attended by his father has said.

The 18-year-old, of Banks, Lancashire, killed six-year-old Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and injured 10 others when he launched the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29.
