Axel Rudakubana is responsible for 'one of the most barbaric crimes in our country's history', Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told the Commons as she set out details for the public inquiry into the Southport attack.
LISTEN:Written material about self-driving car bombs was found on Axel Rudakubana 's devices after he stabbed three children to death in Southport, it's been reported.
The piece, written by a weapons expert in a journal about radicalisation, described how the terror group had designed self-driving cars with a 12-mile range with mannequins to hide the fact there was no driver. Axel Rudakubana, who pleaded guilty yesterday to three counts of murder, was found in possession of articles and books that sources said proved an 'obsession with violence'
The killer has a connection to the atrocity through his parents, who were both Tutsi and were forced to flee the country following the outbreak of mass killings by the Hutu-dominated regime. Read More How Axel Rudakubana was 'planning UK's first high school massacre' but was stopped by his dad The killings were sparked by the death of Hutu President Juvenal Habyariman, whose plane was shot down on the night of April 6, triggering a rampage by Hutu extremists and the 'Interahamwe' militia.
The family have distanced themselves from Axel Rudakubana's monstrous crimes, insisting Rwanda's bloody past played no part in the British-born teenager's descent into mass murder. In a Facebook post accompanied by an image of a candle she wrote: 'Our families, our friends, our kids, our people. Forever in our hearts. Tutsi genocide 1994.'
The couple lived in the Welsh capital for 11 years and had two boys, the elder boisterous, and Axel quiet and shy.
