Southport killer named and pictured for the first time

A TEENAGER charged with murdering three children in a rampage at a Taylor Swift dance class has been named for the first time today. Axel Muganwa Rudakubana was named for the first time after a judge lifted reporting restrictions just days before his 18th birthday.

Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar were knifed to death in the mass stabbing in Southport.

Eight other children suffered stab wounds in the horror, with five in a stable condition in hospital along with two adults.
