Axel Rudakubana, 18, murdered Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at a Taylor Swift-themed class in the Merseyside town in July last year.
A teenage girl who bravely led a group to safety during the Southport attack, despite her own serious injuries, has spoken out against the spread of “false information” on social media surrounding the tragic event.
Axel Rudakubana murdered Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at a Taylor Swift-themed class.
Speaking about how the attack unfolded, the girl said she saw Rudakubana stab a child in front of her before he came towards her.
The minimum term Rudakubana must serve in custody for the Southport attack is one of the highest on record, and is thought to be the longest punishment handed to a killer of his age.
