presenter Tom Harwood couldn’t contain his fury as a shocking detail emerged about Axel Rudakubana’s disturbing history before he committed murder.
, 18, was for the murder of three girls at a dance class in Southport and the attempted murder of 10 other people.
The horrific attack took place last July, but has left people wondering whether it could have been prevented had more been done to stop Rudakubana.
It was reported that Rudakubana’s parents were aware that their son was troubled, given that he spent all his time in his bedroom. The teenager regularly exhibited anger and shortly after being excluded from school, returned with a hockey stick and broke the wrist of a fellow pupil.

GB News presenter Emily Carver expressed her shock over Rudakubana being free to commit the devastating attacks, saying: “So many opportunities missed to stop what happened in July.
“It’s just shocking to read that despite him exhibiting so many disturbing and disgusting behaviours that somehow there wasn’t a way to keep him under surveillance, to make sure that he wasn’t able to go about freely and plot such a devastating attack.”
GB News correspondent Mark White, who was reporting outside Liverpool Crown Court, agreed as he explained: “He was quite open about his feelings on what he wanted to do.
“This was a very dangerous individual. He had taken knives into school on 10 separate occasions. He was clearly researching and fascinated by extremist material, this must have surely set alarm bells ringing amongst those state agencies that were reviewing this young man.”

Mark agreed that the system “spectacularly” failed, leading to the deaths of the three young girls.
Expressing his shock, Tom said: “You’d think with those, was it two, Mark, that you said? Two occasions that he brought a knife into school and was found to have done so.”
Raising his voice, the presenter responded: “10? He was found to have brought a knife into school 10 times. These were only the times he was discovered!”
The full horror of Rudakubana’s crimes were heard at court on Thursday (January 23), with the judge saying the teenager would likely “never be released and he will be in custody for all his life” for the “harrowing and atrocious premeditated attack” last summer.
and didn’t care that one of the girls he killed, named Bebe King, was just six years old. The teenager also murdered Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class last year.
