#1 Rudakubana stormed into a children’s party and attempted to murder those inside with extreme violence just days before his 18th birthday.

My dear sir, seems like three of those children did receive the death penalty for the crimes of others.

#2 Interesting from the Daily Mail — it seems the lad is autistic and has long wanted to hurt and kill others:

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana's father removed his son from taxi as he set off to launch 'high school massacre' just a week before he murdered three girls in knife rampage

The 17-year-old booked a taxi from his home to Range High School in Formby on July 22 last year, wearing the same green hooded sweatshirt and surgical mask he would have on during the dance-class attack a week later.

It is feared he was planning a high-school massacre, although police say there was 'no evidence' he had a knife with him.

An witness said: 'There was a confrontation and Rudakubana was eventually persuaded to leave the vehicle.' Rudakubana then went back inside.

There is no suggestion Rudakubana's father knew what he is believed to have been planning at the school on July 22.

The video has been revealed as Rudakubana, now 18, was this afternoon given a life sentence with a minimum of 52 years in prison after murdering three young girls in Southport last year - with trial judge Mr Justice Goose saying it was 'not likely he will ever be released'.

Police have said that on July 29, the day of the murders, Rudakubana 'changed his routine' in response to having been intercepted by his father a week earlier.

On this occasion, instead of booking a minicab to the house, he walked to a nearby bus stop and then called a taxi to take him to Southport, a 15-minute drive away.

Rudakubana's family have been left 'devastated' by the atrocity he inflicted and are now in hiding after police moved them for their own safety, a church attended by his father revealed this week.

Revelations earlier this week following Rudakubana's guilty pleas included:

The signs Rudakubana would go on to kill including a hockey stick attack;

How his church-going parents were linked to the Rwandan genocide; and

He was referred to the counter-extremism programme Prevent three times.

Rudakubana, born in Cardiff, had moved in 2013 to the Merseyside seaside resort of Southport where his father Alphonse - a former soldier in the Rwanda Patriotic Front - worked as a taxi driver.

Rudakubana was a former pupil at the Range High but was expelled for carrying out a disturbing incident which saw him try to attack pupils with a hockey stick.

At the age of 13, the youngster was suspended for bringing a knife into school before returning with the sports equipment and wielding it at pupils, causing him to be restrained by a teacher.

On another occasion, pupils filmed him attempting to attack a teacher during a lesson, having to be restrained by three classmates.

source said: 'Rudakubana rang Childline when he was 13 to say he was going to bring a knife into Range High School because he was being bullied.'

'They immediately raised the alarm and he was immediately excluded. He never actually brought a knife in.'

But around a fortnight later he sneaked back onto the school grounds armed with a hockey stick, apparently trying to attack children who he felt had wronged him. Former pupils said one boy suffered a broken wrist.

Police were called after the incident in December 2019 and Rudakubana was later given a ten-month referral order by a youth court – believed to be his only brush with the law prior to last July's atrocity.

The source added: 'By all accounts he was a normal year 9 pupil until this happened, he was a model student.

'The knife threat and then the hockey stick attack seem to have been the start of him becoming obsessed with the most horrific violence, eventually culminating in the attack on the dance studio. That was the spark which started everything.'

A video showing Rudakubana being restrained by fellow pupils at Range High seen by the Mail is understood to have involved him trying to attack one of the children he accused of bullying him.

He then attended specialist educational units including a college in Southport which sources said he only attended 'two or three times'.

Sources stressed that Rudakubana was raised a Catholic and there was no religious motivation around his fixation on violence or the dance studio attack.

'He had no religious links whatsoever – he was just pure evil and wanted to hurt people,' one said. 'It was as simple as that. I would describe him as generational evil.'

Rudakubana received regular medical assessments as well as having a social worker.

'He was seen by multiple medical professionals, and autism was the prevailing diagnosis,' said the source.

'But while there was a major flag on his case because of his threat to bring a knife into school, there were no incidents of violence or carrying a weapon.

'He became obsessed with wars, conflicts, genocides and the most appalling atrocities. That's how he came to be referred to Prevent and counter-terrorism.

'It's just chilling how he went from being an apparently normal year 9 kid to becoming just uncontrollably evil.'

After his expulsion, Rudakubana attended specialist education provision in the Southport area.

At the time of the atrocity he was on the books of a college but had only attended two or three times, with a source saying: 'He just bunked off all the time.'

Police were regularly present to support social workers attending his family home over his poor attendance.

'Social workers who visited him always brought their own security,' a source said.

'It was felt that for their own safety it was better for them to have someone to keep them safe because they were so worried about what he was capable of.'
