A British counter-terrorism program ended prematurely the case of Axel Rudakubana, a teenager who killed three in a stab attack last year, according to an official review published on Wednesday. A young girl.
After Mr. Rudabana conducted a brutal rage in a dance class in northern British towns on July 29, the government reviewed the plan’s actions in an attempt to divert vulnerable individuals into prevention for terrorists. .
Mr Rudabana was 17 at the time of the attack and was referred three times at the age of 13 and 14 to prevent him due to his re-fixion of violence. But in each case, it was found that he did not meet the threshold for further intervention under the program, partly because of the ideology he did not recognize.
The comment said that over a 17-month period, Mr. Rudabana’s multiple referrals, combined with his “high susceptibility”, “it should be necessary to increase the review”.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis said in a statement to parliament on Wednesday that the review found that “the perpetrators have sufficient risks to manage through prevention.” He added: “It was found that referrals were closed prematurely and there was enough focus to keep the case active when further information was collected.”
Mr Rudakubana was sentenced to life imprisonment in late January for three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and other charges.
Three young girls, Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva, 9, Alice Da Silva Aguiar was killed, and eight other children and two adults were injured in the July attack, which investigators say was premeditated.
Mr. Rudabukana’s recommendation was conducted by education providers between December 2019 and April 2021.
In the years leading up to the attack, he also had contacts with police, courts, social services and mental health services. Investigators say he doesn’t seem to have a special ideology, but is obsessed with violence and genocide, as evidenced by various super-super images, videos and documents found on his digital devices after the attack.
He made ricin, a deadly toxin, and stored it under the bed and downloaded a PDF document titled “Jihadist against Tyrants: AL Al Qaeda Training Manual” which investigators believe he has used Yu Dao’s guidance and poison attack.
While the report released Wednesday is the first to address the issue of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which says how the state failed the victims of Southport’s attack on and his family, it will not be the last once.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced the public inquiry that Mr Rudabana had “been so dangerous” and why the prevention program “failed to identify the terrible risks he posed”.
She admits that in recent years, more and more teenagers have been submitted for prevention of the program, “we need to face why this happens and why it needs to change.”
A broader public investigation into the attack could take months or longer to complete.
