SOUTHPORT murder monster Axel Rudakubana will be the “No1 target” after he was moved to one of the UK’s most notorious jails. The 18-year-old triple killer has been locked up at the 900-capacity HMP Belmarsh, South East London, alongside convicted terrorists and far-right extremist Tommy Robinson.

He will wear a paper jumpsuit so he cannot harm himself, and his cell will contain just a wooden bench, a mattress and a small window. A former prisoner told The Sun: “He will be the No1 target in the prison population for the rest of his life after killing those little girls.

“The screws will know that he can’t come into contact with anyone or else he’ll be attacked. "Category A prisons like Belmarsh are powder kegs anyway, but he would get attacked in a heartbeat if anyone can get their hands on him. “Most likely it would be a group attack. They won’t mind doing a few more years for the kudos of giving him a kicking, stabbing him, or worse.”.

Rudakubana had been held at HMP Manchester ahead of his sentencing. On Thursday, he was told he will serve life with a minimum 52-year term for murdering Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Da Silva Aguiar, nine, and trying to kill ten others at a Taylor Swift dance class last July.

All prisoners meet with a psychologist or a psychiatrist when they arrive. They are then allocated into either a normal cell with some home comforts, like a TV and kettle, or a stripped-back “bare cell”. The former prisoner told The Sun: “He will have nothing until the warders are confident he has accepted his fate.
