Axel Rudakubana charged with murder of three young girls in Southport
The teen accused of murdering three girls and attempting to murder 10 others in Southport has been named.
Alice, 9, Bebe, six, and Elsie, seven, were fatally stabbed on Monday when a knifeman entered the dance class on Hart Street in Southport, Merseyside. Eight other children suffered knife wounds – with five of them left in a critical condition – while two adults were also critically hurt. The court heard Rudakubana was due to turn 18 next week, on August 7. Judge Menary said: "Continuing to prevent the full reporting has the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation, in a vacuum."
Around 20 members of the press packed into court 3.6, a youth court, before District Judge James Hatton sitting at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court. The teenager was brought into court at 10.21am, wearing a baggy grey tracksuit and black slippers.
