The suspect allegedly responsible for the Southport, United Kingdom stabbing spree that killed three children was identified in court on Thursday following orders from the judge.
Authorities have identified the 17-year-old suspect accused of killing three children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in the United Kingdom. Judge Andrew Menary ruled Thursday that suspect Axel Rudakubana's identity could be revealed despite being a minor. Rudakubana will turn 18 in six days, according to local reports.
He added, 'Continuing to prevent the full reporting has the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation, in a vacuum.' British law typically prevents authorities from revealing the identity of criminal suspects under the age of 18. Rudakubana is accused of carrying out a stabbing spree at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children, police say.
Southport was the scene of clashes between protesters and police the day after the murder spree. North West Ambulance Services reported via X that 22 police officers have been treated, and at least 11 have been taken to the hospital in the wake of the Southport riots. At least one police van has been set ablaze by the crowds. A source describes the town as 'quiet.' Fox News Digital's Jasmine Baehr and Greg Norman contributed to this report.
