Police were repeatedly called and teachers raised fears over teen researching terror attack on school computer in a string of missed opportunities to halt killer
Warning signs missed: Southport killer Axel Rudakubana’s parents asked police four times for help with teen
Axel Rudakubana’s parents asked police for help to cope with their violence-obsessed son in one of a string of callouts over his worrying behaviour before the Southport attack, it can be revealed.
Officers from Lancashire Constabulary attended the family’s three-bedroom home four times between 2021 and 2022, but each time failed to identify the threat he posed.
The revelations come after the 18-year-old was sentenced to at least 52 years in prison for carrying out the horrific attack which was described by a judge as a “premeditated attempt to commit indiscriminate mass murder”.
