Axel Rudakubana is set to stand trial for the tragic deaths of three girls.
Southport: So, there’s this really tragic story coming out of Southport. Axel Rudakubana, just 18, is going to trial for a horrific knife attack that left three young girls dead. It all happened during a Taylor Swift-themed dance party, which is just heartbreaking.
The girls, Alice, Bebe, and Elsie, were only 9, 6, and 7 years old. They were having a great time when suddenly, chaos erupted. Along with the three girls, several others were hurt, including two adults who tried to help. One of them, Leanne, was injured while trying to protect the kids. It’s just so sad.
Rudakubana is facing some serious charges, including murder and attempted murder. He’s also accused of having a knife and even a toxic substance called ricin. They found some pretty alarming stuff at his home, which raises a lot of questions about what was going on in his mind.
He hasn’t said much in court so far, and his trial is expected to last about four weeks. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved, especially the families of the victims. A vigil was held in Southport to honor the girls, and you can just feel the community’s pain.
