Axel Rudakubana, an 18-year-old, recently pleaded guilty to murdering three children and injuring others at a Southport dance class. His increasing withdrawal from family and obsession with violence and genocide became apparent at age 13, yet he remained known to various state agencies. The tragic incident on July 29 left the community in shock, as police undertook extensive investigations to piece together Rudakubana's background and motivations, revealing the alarming trajectory of a troubled youth.
The picture that has emerged, while still limited, is of a deeply troubled individual whose fascination with violence was brought to the authorities' attention when he was just 13.
Axel Rudakubana took a taxi to a children's dance class in Southport, England, where he murdered three girls and wounded eight other children and two adults.
In the months since the July 29 attack, the police and prosecutors have worked to retrace the steps leading up to the killing spree.
He rarely left his home, feeding an obsession with genocide and killing, scrolling endlessly through online images of war, torture, and death.
