Southport assault blamed on killer’s dad and mom and 4 different ‘catastrophic’ failures

Axel Rudakubana wouldn’t have carried out the Southport assault if his dad and mom had reported what they knew about their son to the authorities, a public inquiry has discovered.

Chairman Sir Adrian Fulford has mentioned the murders of Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop on 29 July 2024 "could and should have been prevented".

Sir Adrian discovered that Rudakubana’s dad and mom "ultimately failed" to report the chance their son posed – and he additionally recognized a number of main areas of systematic failure inside the police, safety, well being and social care providers.
