THIS is the moment Southport monster Axel Rudakubana waits for a taxi to take him to a dance class where he murdered three children. The teenager can be seen pacing up and down 30 minutes before stabbing Bebe King, six, Elsie Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, to death.

Our footage was captured outside the home Rudakubana shared with parents and disabled brother in the quiet village of Banks. The triple killer's taxi driver arrives at around 11.30 - around half-an-hour before he wreaked death and destruction at a Taylor Swift dance class on July 29 last year.

He asked the cab to take him to the Hart Space, where he got out without paying and walked up the stairs to the yoga workshop and started attacking children. He entered the session at 11.45am and within seconds screams could be heard, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Despite the brave attempts to stop the attack, Bebe, Elsie and Alice died from their injuries and at least ten other children were also stabbed. After he was arrested at the scene, a police helicopter was mobilised and armed cops in three 4x4 vehicles rushed to his house.

Officers surrounded the property with guns drawn and took his mum and dad out of the house and placed them into squad cars while teams carried out searches. A shocked neighbour told The Sun how cops swooped on the quiet street at around 12.20pm last July 29 as news of the awful attack was emerging.
