United in grief, the community of Southport came together to offer each other support in the days and weeks after then-17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, armed with a knife, went on a "meticulously planned rampage" on 29 July.

SIR Keir Starmer has said the Southport killings “must be a line in the sand for Britain”. The Prime Minister addressed the nation on Tuesday morning, after Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleaded guilty on Monday to murdering three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last July.

Keir Starmer has said the Southport killings by teenager Axel Rudakubana 'must be a line in the sand for Britain' and there must be “fundamental change” in how the country protects its children. It comes as the government said they will undertake an inquiry into the 'barbaric' murders of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class last year.
