Amazon has begun an urgent investigation following the tragic case of Axel Rudakubana, who, despite being a minor with a violent criminal record, was able to purchase a knife online. The incident, which led to the stabbing of schoolgirls in Southport, raised significant concerns about the effectiveness of current regulations for selling age-restricted items. Home secretary Yvette Cooper expressed outrage and announced potential legislative changes to ensure stricter identification checks for knife purchases, while Sir Keir emphasized the need for improved safeguards to protect children from such incidents.
We take our responsibility around the sale of all age-restricted items - including bladed products - extremely seriously and have launched an urgent investigation in relation to this tragic case.
The lessons of this case could not be clearer. ... tragically, he was still able to order the murder weapon off of the internet without any checks or barriers.
