U.K. Teen Who Killed Three Girls at Taylor Swift-Themed Dance Class Sentenced to Minimum of 52 Years in Jail
Axel Rudakubana, the teenager who pleaded guilty to killing three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the U.K., has been sentenced.
In July, Rudakubana carried out a knife attack at a dance and yoga studio in Southport, England, killing 7-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, 9-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar and 6-year-old Bebe King, and injuring 10 others. The court also heard more about the terror-related charges Rudakubana pleaded guilty to, which included the discovery of ricin — a naturally occurring toxin that can be deadly — at his home as well as possession of an Al-Qaeda training manual. Information about past incidents was also presented, including that Rudakubana — who was born in Cardiff and moved to Southport with his family in 2013 — had previously brought a knife to school, contacted a helpline to ask “What should I do if I want to kill somebody?” and had been referred three times to the anti-extremism program Prevent.
