A search on X made minutes before he left home, about the stabbing of Mar Mari Emmanuel, a bishop who was injured in a terrorist knife attack on an Australian church in April last year, was the only thing that remained, police have said.
Police discovered a number of devices during a search of Rudakubana’s home in Banks, Lancashire, after the attack, but he had deleted his internet history 10 minutes before he left home to carry out the killings.
The FBI and the US Department of Justice have joined the investigation into the Southport killer, Axel Rudakubana, and are reported to be helping UK police recover his deleted internet search history.
Rudakubana, 18, was jailed for a minimum of 52 years in January for murdering three young girls and attempting to murder eight others in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July last year.
Rudakubana fatally stabbed Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, at a dance class at the Hart Space in Southport just after 11am on 29 July last year.
