Southport killer Axel Rudakubana moved to psychiatric hospital
BBC ^ | July 24 | BBC

Posted on 07/24/2026 5:48:21 AM PDT by RandFan

Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three children at a dance class in Southport, has been moved from prison to a secure psychiatric hospital.

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) confirmed he was transferred from HMP Belmarsh to Broadmoor, the high-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire.

Rudakubana murdered Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and injured eight other children and two adults in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July 2024.

He was given a 52-year prison sentence in January 2025 but the judge was unable to impose a whole life order due to Rudakubana being 17 when he carried out the attack. He will likely never be released.

The then Attorney-General Lord Hermer said Rudakubana's sentence was the "second-longest sentence imposed by the courts in English history".

He should be doing hard time not sent to a lunatic asylum. Reform and Nigel Farage say they will reverse this decision. He's lucky not to have been hung. (Most people favor bringing it back for child killers)

Housing the criminally insane with ordinary mentality ill people is cruel to the other patients, who already are in a terrible situation.

The judges who do this are evil.

From a prison to a marshmallow factory. The first step by the democrats to put another one of their killers back on the streets.

Shoot that retard. There’s no point in housing and feeding him for six decades - and the damn sure no justice for crime.

He may be hung. He should have been hanged.

Did you not learn in school the little memory aid?

“horses are hung, criminals are hanged”

Although the elephant in Erwin, TN, was hanged. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(elephant)

He should be moved to a graveyard instead.

The killer should have been executed and his head placed on a stake over the Thames River.

Instead, I suspect he'll be quietly released in a few years.

The Brit establishment was quick to refer to Axel as a ‘Welsh choirboy’. The establishment was very upset that actual Brits might object to the cultural enrichment they’re receiving.

Broadmoor houses exclusively the criminally insane, so in this case your comment doesn’t apply.
