Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleads guilty to murdering three girls in knife rampage at Taylor Swift dance class in Southport and admits terror offence and producing ricin
This is the deranged and demonic mugshot of Southport killer Axel Rudakubana, who today admitted murder, possessing an Al Qaeda terror manual and making the biological weapon Ricin.
The shocking picture of the teenager taken shortly after his arrest was released after he pleaded guilty to killing three primary schoolgirls and attempting to murder 10 other people at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last summer.
The 18-year-old, who wore a facemask and refused to stand in the dock, changed his pleas from not guilty to guilty in a U-turn as his four-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court was about to start.
