A Sky News presenter struggled to hold back tears while reporting on the sentencing of Axel Rudakubana, the 18-year-old who murdered three young girls at a dance class in Southport last year. Sarah-Jane Mee delivered a harrowing account of the attack, highlighting the 'sadistic' nature of the injuries and Rudakubana's disturbing obsession with violence.
A Sky News presenter was left visibly shaken and tearful as she reported on the sentencing hearing of the Southport killer, Axel Rudakubana . Sarah-Jane Mee struggled to maintain composure while detailing the horrific nature of the attack, where Rudakubana murdered three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Merseyside last year.
Prosecutors revealed that the injuries inflicted on the victims were described as 'sadistic,' and images and documents found in Rudakubana's home indicated a long-standing obsession with violence and genocide. During the hearing, Rudakubana, now 18, pleaded guilty to all 16 charges against him, including the murders of Alice da Silva Aguiar (9), Bebe King (6), and Elsie Dot Stancombe (7). He also admitted to the attempted murders of eight other children and two adults, Leanne Lucas, the dance class instructor, and businessman John Hayes. Rudakubana interrupted proceedings on Thursday, shouting 'I feel ill!' and demanding to speak to a paramedic, claiming a lack of support. This chilling outburst came after the court heard Rudakubana's disturbing statement, 'I'm glad they're dead,' uttered while in custody following the attack. As Sarah-Jane relayed these horrific details, she visibly struggled to contain her emotions, pausing for deep breaths and acknowledging the distressing nature of the case. She expressed empathy for the victims' families, urging viewers to remain composed and focus on the importance of this day for them. Viewers at home expressed their own shock and sympathy on social media, praising Sarah-Jane's professionalism while acknowledging the deeply unsettling nature of the crimes.
