Southport knife attack - 3 children dead | pleads guilty to murder assault and terrorism charges

The mother of one of the surviving children - "Child A" (surviving children can't be named due to a court order) - is now sharing some thoughts from her daughter.

Child A thought the attack was a prank and when Axel Rudakubana approached her with the knife, she told him she "didn't want one" - she "didn't want to play". Rudakubana then attacked her.

"Our world collapsed in that moment and we are still trying to rebuild it," the girl's mother says.

"When she woke up [from surgery] she lunged forward and reached her arms out - reaching for her best friend... still believing she was in danger, trying to get to her."

"They were separated in the most terrifying way," her mother adds.

Axel Rudakubana sentenced to minimum of 52 years in jail

Axel Rudakubana, 18, will be jailed for a minimum of 52 years, the judge says.

The judge says the sentences will run concurrently, meaning they will be served at same time.

He concludes that it is highly likely Rudakubana will never be released.
 
so for the next 52 years the tax payers have to feed and cloth that fecking evil piece of shit, 52 years making sure he is fed and kept warm and heathy!!!
feck that he should be put to death and done now before he costs us any more money, he deserves NOTHING , he should forfeit his right to live.
This boils my piss
 
The parent statements are completely sobering, I can't even imagine the grief or how I could ever move on from it.
 
I just don't get it.

How is it not three life sentences? I hope he gets what he truly deserves in prison.

I think most of them never really do. I’m convinced i would be one of those parents who could never get past or through it.
 
There's not a chance he will be paroled even if he makes it to 70. He will die in prison one way or another.

Yeah evil feckers like him should have all their rights stripped away and if he wants to pull more crap like starving himself then they should just let him rot away and die a slow death. He's shown absolutely no remorse, in his sick mind he believes he's done something good. He's so far gone he's just not worth keeping alive.
 
I just don't get it.

For U18's the usual life sentence length starts at is 12 years so this is a lot more than usual

In reality he's unlikely to ever get out, even if no one does for him inside the chances of him getting released is in the hands of a politician and I don't see any politician who wishes to remain one ever signing off on it
 
Struggling to express how much I hate this evil piece of shit.
 
Cannot imagine the pain the parents must be suffering.

RIP little ones
 
Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme request received for Axel Rudakubana

I was quite surprised by how long the minimum was. I don't think I've ever seen one that's over 50 years. I guess that's got more to do with anyone who would be eligible for such a sentence would be given a whole life term instead and he can't be because of his age. There probably aren't many under 18s who have committed a crime that would usually have merited a whole life sentence .
 
It would be a real shame if something happened to him in prison.
 
He won’t leave prison alive.

Here’s to the guard who accidentally leaves his cell door unlocked.
 
Send him to one of those hot, dirty gang run prisons in South America, in one of those 100m2 cells with 100 prisoners and only 80 beds.

Tell them all what he did.
 
I still want to know what the hell happened to him for this to happen. I hope we find out. Publish his entire internet history, his phone records. How does a monster like this end up being created?

That’s what I am wondering too. He wasn’t born inherently evil. So who groomed him and how

The only other time was the Manchester bombers brother i heard, he got 55 years but was 22 I think.
 
I don’t support the death penalty, but they should really make an exception for cases like these. He doesn’t deserve taxpayer funds.
 
Saw some of the statements from victims and families, and it’s just so utterly heartbreaking.

My heart aches just thinking about them, how they must feel I can’t comprehend.
