Nigel Farage alleges authorities concealed information about killer Axel Rudakubana's past, leading to public unrest and a mischaracterization of the crime. He points to Rudakubana's history of violent behavior, including school expulsion, ricin production, and searches for Al-Qaeda material, as evidence of a potential terrorist connection.
Nigel Farage has accused Sir Keir Starmer and the police of a 'gigantic cover-up' over the Southport murders. It has now been revealed that triple killer Axel Rudakubana was reported to the anti-terror programme Prevent three times before he murdered three girls. This comes after the Reform UK leader was blocked from asking questions in Parliament about Rudakubana's background and if he was known to the police.
He was told this was due to ongoing court proceedings, which the politician branded 'completely wrong'. Mr Farage claimed the riots sparked after the tragedy were a result of withholding of information from the public. Mr Farage told the Telegraph: 'I was pretty certain from what I had been told very early on that this was a terrorist-related attack.' The Reform UK leader said he knew shortly after the murders Rudakubana had been expelled from school at the age of 13 for possession of a knife. 'This reflects very badly on the Prime Minister. We have been denied the truth on this by the police and the Government, it is disgraceful,' Mr Farage continued. 'There has been a gigantic cover-up from day one, the authorities knew very very quickly about his expulsion from school, the ricin making and the Al-Qaeda material, yet they refused to class the murders as terror related for fear of the reaction there might have been.' Prosecutor described attack as 'unspeakable' after pleas Rudakubana today pleaded guilty to murdering Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, at a Taylor Swift dance class. He also admitted two terror offences - but cops are not treating the attack as terror-related despite the previous concerns over his behaviour. It can now be revealed that one of the referrals made to Prevent was over Rudakubana's potential interest in a school massacre. He used computers at his own school to search for material but it was decided that he did not fit the criteria for the voluntary scheme. Two years later, he was referred again after viewing material on previous terror attacks - including those in London in 2017. Although there were no concerns over a particular ideology or religious hatred, his obsession with violence had caused fears. But he was not found to have posed a terrorism risk and therefore did not reach the threshold for intervention by Prevent. After one of the referrals, it was recommended that Rudakubana be referred to other services but is not known if this happened. And he pleaded guilty to one charge of the 'production of a biological toxin, namely ricin, contrary to Section 1 of the Biological Weapons Act 1974'
