The first phase of Southport attack inquiry was released on Monday highlighting how Axel Rudakubana was able to carry out the attack on a Taylor swift-themed dance class in Southport in July of 2024 due to 'poor information sharing' and a lack of intervention by his parents.
The inquiry chair, Sir Adrian Fulford, said the murder of the three girls: Bebe King, six; Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine; and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; as well as the stabbing of 10 others was not a 'bolt of lightning out of a clear blue sky,' adding in the report: 'Instead, some form of grave violence ... had been clearly, repeatedly and unambiguously signposted over many years.'
