Axel Rudakubana stabbed Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice de Silva Aguiar to death during a Taylor Swift-themed dance party
Rudakubana is not expected to receive a whole-life order because he was 17 at the time of the attack and the measures can normally only be imposed on criminals aged 21 or over. They are usually only considered for those aged 18 to 20 in exceptional circumstances. But a parent of one of the children who survived the attack said an exception should be made in this case. The man, who cannot be named because his child has been granted anonymity by the court, told the Sun: “Axel should rot in jail.
He was only a few days off his 18th birthday when he committed these most horrendous offences. “Why should he be spared a whole-life tariff when he hasn’t spared a thought for any of the victims’ families? Life should mean life “Even if he gets 40 years, it’s not enough. He could be out to enjoy the latter part of his life. The three little girls he murdered can’t do that. If that means the law needs changing, so be it. He’s an adult and should be tried like one.
