The teenager spoke for the first time in court today when he changed his pleas to guilty
A teenager with “a sickening interest in death and violence” was stopped from taking a taxi to his former school by his dad just days before he murdered three girls. Axel Rudakubana, 18 and of Banks in Lancashire, was due to go on trial this morning accused of the murders of six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party.
It is understood Rudakubana attended two specialists schools, The Acorns School in Lancashire and Presfield High School & Specialist College in Southport following his expulsion, and teachers were concerned about his behaviour. His in-person attendance at Presfield was less than 1%, it is understood. The stabbings of the three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party was one of the most harrowing tragedies to have occurred in our region .
