Axel Rudakubana will be ‘hated’ in prison, a former inmate warned (Image: PA)
, the deranged 18-year-old who brutally murdered three young girls in Southport, is facing a grim future in prison, according to a former inmate.
The despicable attack took place last year in during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. Rudakubana, hailing from Banks, West Lancashire, senselessly ended the lives of Bebe King, aged 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9. He also attempted to murder 10 other individuals during his appalling stabbing frenzy on July 29.
Today, justice was served as he was with a minimum term of 52 years.
A menacing picture of Rudakubana’s impending torment in jail was painted by ex-prisoner Rich Jones in a haunting statement to the . Rich chillingly remarked: “If people can get to him they will get to him and it will be a matter of once he gets on the wings, if someone has an axe to grind in there, and they want to grind it, they will grind it with him because of what he has done.”

Rich, who served in the Army before being jailed for seven years on charges of conspiracy to supply cocaine, also alluded to a possible retribution that awaits the young convict. He added: “There will be some sort of justice somewhere down the line and it will be something he has to deal with for the rest of his life.”
In addition to the heinous killings, Rudakubana pleaded guilty to concocting the biological toxin ricin and possessing an Al Qaeda training manual, although his acts seem fueled solely by an obsessive fixation on extreme violence.
According to Rich’s insights, Rudakubana may very well be subjected to prolonged spells of segregation away from the general prison population.
He remarked: “I think he will be in for a really bumpy ride. He will have a lot of time to think and he could be stuck in the seg[regation] for a while.

“He is just another s***bag who has done what he has done and I think he isn’t going to regret what he has done. But he will be thinking ‘this is it now, this is the rest of my life for what I’ve done’.”
Rich, who has since become an author and runs his online, continued: “Regarding his mentality and how he is going to be thinking about stuff – he is human.
“He will be looking at the fact that he may have the rest of his life in prison and being locked up he will have his thoughts. I hope that gets inside his head and starts to cause him his own justice.”
One survivor of the senseless attack bravely told Liverpool Crown Court that he “cannot accept praise”, knowing “I survived when children died”.
