Southport Killer Sentenced to Minimum of 52 Years for 'Pure Evil' Murders

[Social Media]

 

Axel Rudakubana, 18, has been sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in prison for the horrific murders of three young girls during a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop. Described as "sadistic" and "pure evil" by Liverpool Crown Court, the attack left seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, six-year-old Bebe King, and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar dead, while eight other children and two adults were seriously injured.  

 

‘Moment Axel Rudakubana took a taxi to a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport has been released. After not paying the taxi driver, the then 17-year-old calmly entered the building in Southport. Minutes later, screams can be heard and CCTV showed children running outside.’

The court heard that on 29 July, just after 11:45 BST, Rudakubana launched his attack at the sold-out dance event led by Leanne Lucas. The children, who had been joyfully making friendship bracelets and singing along to Swift's music, were suddenly plunged into terror as Rudakubana moved through the room, systematically stabbing young girls. Screams echoed from the Hart Space dance studio, and footage showed children fleeing in panic, some staggering into the street with grave injuries.

The families of the victims sobbed in the public gallery as disturbing footage was shown in court. Among the harrowing scenes was nine-year-old Alice, who managed to escape the building despite her severe injuries but collapsed near a car outside. Inside the studio, six-year-old Bebe had suffered a staggering 122 knife wounds, while seven-year-old Elsie Dot endured 85.  

 

GB News' Sophie Reaper says the CCTV footage showing Axel Rudakubana's knife attack in Southport is 'one of the most horrific things' she has even seen. Footage was played in Liverpool Crown Court where Rudakubana is set to be sentenced.

Judge Mr. Justice Goose, addressing Rudakubana during sentencing, said, “Many who have heard the evidence might describe what he did as evil, who could dispute it?” Rudakubana was not present in the courtroom, having been removed earlier for disruptive behavior, including shouting, "I feel ill," and demanding medical attention.  

 

Police officers arrived at the Hart Street studio just before 11:59 BST. Body-camera footage revealed the grim scene, with Rudakubana standing over Bebe King’s body, knife in hand. Officers, alongside a courageous member of the public, window-cleaner Joel Verite, tackled him to the ground. Verite could be heard shouting in shock at the injuries inflicted on Bebe.  

 

Other survivors included a seven-year-old girl, referred to as Child A, who had been pulled back into the building by Rudakubana and stabbed repeatedly before escaping and collapsing in the street. Two others, including Ms. Lucas, managed to hide in a locked toilet until police declared the area safe.  

 

Prosecutor Ms. Heer detailed the calculated and brutal nature of the attack, while Stan Reiz KC, representing Rudakubana, stated that his client had appeared to be a “normal child” until the age of 13. However, Reiz admitted there was no psychiatric evidence to suggest a mental disorder played a role in the crimes.  

 

Beyond the murders and attempted murders, Rudakubana was also convicted of producing the biological toxin ricin and possessing an Al Qaeda training manual, a violation of the Terrorism Act.  

 

Footage has leaked of Axel Rudakubana assaulting a class mate and being restrained by other students. Axel was flagged three times to anti-terrorist org PREVENT and nothing was done.

This senseless act of violence has left a community in mourning and a courtroom grappling with the devastation. Rudakubana's sentencing underscores the severity of his crimes, ensuring he will spend the majority of his life behind bars for actions that have forever scarred the lives of his victims and their families.

Terrorist caught in the act, remained silent throughout his court appearances and only spoke to confirm that he's glad the children he murdered are dead.

 

There's a few real scumbags inside the British prison system who deserve what will eventually come to them, none more than this one.

[Bkk Brian]

His Dad has something to answer for, he must have known he was out to commit a horrific act a week before when he stopped him going to a school. So many failures in this case.

 

Rudakubana stopped by father week before attack
Doorbell footage captured the moment Axel Rudakubana's father ordered him out of a taxi the week before his murderous attacks in Southport.

Merseyside Police said Rudakubana had intended to travel to a school and his father stopped him over concerns he had about his son's behviour.

I doubt very much this scum lunatic will see out this sentence. Be lucky to last a year. Apart from this he should have been tried as an adult and sentenced to actual life in prison. The judge's hands were tied and handed out the maximum possible for someone under 18 (by 9 days).

[jimmybcool]

He shouldn't be breathing by the end of the week.  I know the death sentence isn't popular among many but society merits vengeance and notice to others with similar intent we do not coddle perpetrators of such evil.

Yes indeed. But the law is the law. A minimum of 52 years means he's realistically never going to get out of prison so it is effectively life.

Excellent news.

Probably but what is the point?

 

52 years multiplied by £52,000 (cost of 1 prisoner per year) = £2.65 million.

Cost of rope to hang him with = £20

 

There is zero doubt about his guilt, he said he was glad those little girls he slaughtered died.  He stabbed a 6 year old 122 times, he tried to decapitate another.   He is a walking, talking advert for why the death penalty should be brought back.

Not long enough, the sentence has now been submitted for review.

 

 

MP calls for harsher sentence for Southport killer

The MP for Southport, where Axel Rudakubana murdered three young girls, has demanded a review of the killers 52-year jail sentence - arguing it is "not harsh enough".

Labour's Patrick Hurley has asked the Attorney General to review if the sentence was "unduly lenient" claiming it does not "reflect the crimes".

https://www.yahoo.com/news/mp-calls-harsher-sentence-southport-225348345.html

 

 

Southport killer’s sentence to be reviewed as possibly unduly lenient
Within minutes of Axel Rudakubana being jailed, the law officers announced they had received a request to consider whether the 52-year minimum term was too short.
The Attorney General’s office said the case was referred under the unduly lenient sentence scheme - just one request is needed for it to be considered.
The law officers - Attorney General Lord Hermer and Solicitor General Lucy Rigby - have 28 days to decide whether to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal.

Something I don't really understand is why the different sentences have to run concurrently.   That's another thing that pisses me off about this.  He was given 13 life sentences to run concurrently.   So that is a lie as it is not 13 life sentences it is 1 life sentence unless there are plans to clone him another 12 times so each version of this feral creature has to experience the sentence. I don't see why it cannot be 52 years per life taken to run consecutively so there is not a shred of doubt that he will not be released before he dies by some woke liberal parole board.

That shred of doubt that he could be released when finally up for parole should never be there. It should be without question he will never make it out of prison again. As far as I know its up to the judges discretion whether a sentence runs consecutively or concurrently based on a number of factors.

I agree

 

For certain crimes, where guilt is 200% confirmed, like this case, and many others over the last decade or 2.

 

Hang them. They are not worthy of having so called " Human Rights "

Yup, he's toast in prison. I wonder how many times he will be pulped before he takes his own life.

[Antti]

Western cozy prisons are way too soft places for these kind of criminals. Hard labor is what these people should get. Digging ditches, building roads etc. like in the past. Make this guy work for 12 hours a day seven days a week. If he refuses or cannot work anymore take him to the vet to be put down.

Unfortunately it is a reality.  The days where a feral animal like this would fear for his life in jail are long gone.  The UK is infested with Jihadi's that see little white girls as nothing more than prey to be raped or murdered.   He carried out their own fantasies and they will celebrate him for it.

This is the reality.   I know you prefer the appeasement approach and pretend it isn't happening, and maybe like your hero Starmer you just don't care if it is, but it is happening, and will continue to happen.

During the Hamas invasion of Israel by Islamic savages it is confirmed that they raped the dead bodies of the dead white girls they had murdered. When they took the bodies back to Gaza they were hailed as heroes. This guy will be a hero in prison to his fellow muslims.

Its apparently available online and therefore it’s not j reasonable to expect its something that’s been distributed beyond Al Qaeda and violence Islamists.

The problem when things are covered up by the government muslim appeasers it makes it difficult to absolutely prove to the useful idiot muslim appeaser that he is what he appears to be.  He is schrodinger's muslim at the moment.  On the one hand, we have claims that he attended mosques in Belmarsh prison, he specifically targeted little white girls and he had an al queada training manual - all classic muslim terrorist traits.  On the other hand we have the beacon of truth and honesty that is "the state" saying that there doesn't appear to be an ideology involved.

 

Until we open the box ourselves (which we cannot) he is both muslim and not muslim.  If you are an appeaser to muslims he is not a muslim.   If you use eyes, ears and common sense he is a muslim.

Okay, you are saying he is a covert Moslem. A double agent perhaps. Is he Sunni or Shia? Or perhaps a Sufi or Ahmadi?

 

The cynic in me suggests that when the facts do not fit your agenda, you invent a conspiracy theory.

 

He is not a Moslem, let alone a practising Moslem.

Good sentence, not that it matters, he will be the prime target in jail and someone will get to him in the next few years.
