How Red Flags Over Southport Killer Were Repeatedly Missed
BBC ^ | 1/22 | Sean Seddon and Ian Aikman

Posted on 01/22/2025 2:39:59 PM PST by nickcarraway

Axel Rudakubana did not appear out of the blue.

By the time he carried out the brutal murders of three young girls, the teenager was well known to police, anti-extremism authorities and a number of other public agencies.

But despite repeated concerns about Rudakubana's taste for violence, there was only ever limited intervention.

The government now says several opportunities were missed to stop him turning his dark obsessions into a reality. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the state had failed.

This is what we know about his journey to becoming a killer - and whether it could have been prevented.

Early warning signs The first serious signs Rudakubana was capable of inflicting harm date back to when he was in year nine at Range High School in Formby, Merseyside.

At the age of 11, he had appeared in a BBC Children In Need campaign video, which he had been put forward for by an acting casting agency.

But over his adolescence, Rudakubana began to exhibit anger issues and a propensity for violence. Fellow pupils remember him being obsessed with figures such as Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan.

His time at Range High School ended in October 2019 when he took a knife into school. It would later emerge he told the Childline call centre that he did so because he had experienced racist bullying.

Rudakubana did not use the knife on that occasion but the incident was serious enough that he was permanently expelled from the school.

He returned to the school about two months later with a hockey stick and attacked another child with it. He had to be restrained by staff.

Do they mean “missed”, or do they mean “ignored and covered up”?

Those were my thoughts.

They weren’t “overlooked”.

They were ignored.

Well, the latter is certainly the case when it comes to grooming (rape of young girls) gangs.

I’ve been posting this list at FR for half a dozen years. The Fake Media on both sides of the pond is complicit in this via lying by omission. If I know about it, how do they not? The answer is they do know, but they knowingly hush it up. In addition to the feckless Brit authorities.

They repeatedly lied that the attack had nothing to do with islam, but the attacker had studied al Qaeda manuals.

After the first indication they should’ve realized that he was influenced by the Religion of Violence and done more.

He was born in Cardiff, so I guess he could be deported to Wales. His parents are Rwandan immigrants . . . perhaps fleeing Rwanda to escape prosecution or retribution for the Hutu slaughter of the Tutsi?

If only he was hand cuffed to a local imam for the past twenty years he’d have used a suicide vest and saved the crown some money.

Remember reading that Keir Starmer, the current PM, was involved in getting the murder’s father, a Rwandan mucky-muck into the U.K. But no worries, Keir and Labour have 4 1/2 more years to work their magic.

Over there, they’re *terrified* of the ‘racist’ label. They’d rather let girls be raped and murdered than be called ‘racist’.

Their government tried to claim the riots were started because of ‘lies’ this guy was a muslim - when the authorities hadn’t yet disclosed any details. Wrong. It was the, yet again, ‘not releasing details of the perp’ that set everyone off because they’ve seen it 100 times before. Everyone knew he was, most likely, a minority muslim. Then the government claimed he was ‘Christian’.

Now it turns out everyone’s suspicions were true, the government KNEW who this guy was, and he was muslim after all.

There are thousands in prison due to the riots. Just like J6, even non-violent people...just because they ‘were there’.

I was born and raised there...I’ve known about this simmering problem for 15 years, I keep waiting for it to boil over. It almost did...but the government crushed people in response. It’ll only delay the inevitable. Muslims gonna do what Muslims gonna do. That said, so many are still so trusting of their UK government, it’s ridiculous.
