Axel Rudakubana, the 18-year-old perpetrator, was previously excluded from school for carrying a knife and was described as having troubling behaviour from year nine onwards.
Just a week prior to the tragic events, Rudakubana attempted to return to his former school, but was prevented by his father, showcasing disturbing premeditation.
Upon his admission to the court, Rudakubana changed his plea on the first day of trial, acknowledging 16 counts, indicating a more complex background with issues of bullying and mental health.
Rudakubana's violent actions led to the deaths of three young girls during a dance class, raising concerns about intervention and support for at-risk youth.
