A new inquiry into the Southport murders has been announced, revealing state failings that allowed Axel Rudakubana to kill three young girls. Sir Keir Starmer says terrorism has changed and a new threat faces the UK.
Rudakubana was known for his obsession with violence and had previously referred to the Prevent counter-terrorism programme three times in 17 months before the murders. An inquiry is now being launched, but many details of the case can only be revealed at this time. The investigation aims to uncover what went wrong and how authorities failed to prevent the tragedy.
The inquiry’s findings will provide crucial insights into the case, with implications for the country’s counter-terrorism efforts. The government has announced that it will learn from its failings and take steps to improve its response to such incidents in the future.
