Southport Stabbing: Expanded Charges and New Details

Axel Rudakubana, an 18-year-old, faces multiple charges after allegedly killing three young girls, Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Bebe King, and injuring others during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England. The attack has not been officially classified as a terrorist act due to the absence of a determined motive. Additional charges were filed after police discovered ricin, a deadly biological toxin, and an Al-Qaeda training manual at Rudakubana's home. These findings led to charges of producing a biological toxin and possessing information useful for terrorism under UK laws. The incident incited misinformation and far-right riots, although it was revealed that Rudakubana was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents and not an asylum seeker. Rudakubana is expected to appear in court for further proceedings, with a trial scheduled for January.
