Joel Verite came face-to-face with Axel Rudakubana during his murderous rampage.
Joel Verite was driving by at the moment the Southport attacks took place A personal trainer told how Southport killer Axel Rudakubana stared down at him wielding a 20cm knife during his murderous rampage at a dance studio. Joel Verite, 26, was helping a friend with his window cleaning business on July 29 last year, with windows down and their music on, when they saw yoga teacher Leanne Lucas slumped against a car.
He grabbed a bin and smashed a glass door so that the killer could not lock himself inside to continue his massacre, and turned back to get reinforcements, returning soon afterwards with mechanics and makeshift weapons. It wasn’t long before police arrived armed with a taser, and ‘tackled that piece of s***.’ Joel followed them into the studio and picked up a young girl terribly injured, who he later learned was the youngest victim, Bebe King.
