The Islamist who murdered three young girls in the town of Southport, England, last year has pleaded guilty in court. Axel Rudakubana, 18, who was reportedly born in Wales to Rwandan migrants, appeared in Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, January 20, after being charged with 16 separate offenses, including three counts of murder.
Along with admitting to stabbing Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, Rudakubana also admitted to attempting to create the deadly poison ricin.
Rudakubana pleaded guilty to several other charges, including the attempted killing of eight more children, a dance class instructor, and a businessman who were also at the event. The judge in the case accepted Rudakubana’s guilty plea and stated that he would be sentenced on Thursday.
Even though authorities found an al-Qaeda training manual in Rudakubana’s possession, the incident has not been officially declared a terrorist attack. Police did not disclose the discovery of the document until months after the attack took place.
‘TWO-TIER KEIR.’
The Southport killings sparked a wave of protests across Britain, with many taking to the streets to protest both the murders and mass migration more broadly. Some of the protests devolved into riots and violence, leading to a draconian crackdown by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer that saw people jailed for as little as shouting at the police during protests.
In one case, Peter Lynch, 61, was imprisoned for over two years for participating in a protest in Rotherham and carrying a sign accusing police and politicians of being corrupted by globalist corporations. He was later found dead in prison following an alleged suicide.
A comparatively lax approach to violent Muslim counter-protestors during the riots and protests led many to accuse Starmer, of the far-left Labour Party, and the police of engaging in two-tier policing.
