A shocking incident unfolded at a dance party, leading to the tragic deaths of three young girls
Southport: A truly horrifying event took place at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Axel Rudakabana, just 17 at the time, was caught on video pacing outside the venue, wearing a hoodie and a mask. He seemed to be trying to open the wrong door before entering the studio.
Once inside, chaos erupted. Within moments, screams filled the air as terrified children fled. Tragically, Rudakabana attacked three girls: Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and seven-year-old Alsie Dot Stancombe. Alice managed to escape but sadly passed away the next day.
When police arrived, they found Rudakabana at the top of the stairs, holding a knife. He was quickly subdued. The judge described his actions as “the most extreme, shocking and exceptionally serious crime.” Rudakabana was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 52 years.
Detective Chief Inspector Jason Pye stated that this was no random act; it was a premeditated attempt at mass murder. The community is left in shock, mourning the loss of innocent lives.
