POLICE who nailed Rudakubana have not ruled out making more arrests. Officers investigating the lead-up to the atrocity have revealed he tried to leave the family home armed with a knife in a taxi. It was booked to go to his old school, sparking fears he planned a massacre there.

Dad Alphonse, 49, persuaded him back into the house. Rudakubana appears to have spent several years planning his attack, buying at least two knives from Amazon. A machete and a set of crossbow arrows were found in his bedroom. He also purchased equipment which he used to make deadly poison ricin.

Neighbours say Amazon “constantly” delivered parcels for him, leading to questions on how he could buy so much without anyone being aware. When asked whether action will be taken against his parents, Det Chief Insp Jason Pye said: “It’s a live investigation so we can’t comment.”.

Teens aged between 13 and 17 can have their own Amazon account, using shared payment methods. Adults can set approval options for purchases and receive notifications for all orders. Rudakubana was born in Cardiff in 2006 after his dad and mum Laetitia, 52, moved from Rwanda to the city.
