News summary

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a 17-year-old, has been charged with the murder of three young girls and ten counts of attempted murder following a stabbing incident at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport. The attack, which resulted in the deaths of nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, and six-year-old Bebe King, has spurred violent protests across the UK, fueled by misinformation regarding the suspect's background. Authorities have clarified that the attack is not linked to terrorism, and Rudakubana, who is due to turn 18 soon, remains in custody pending further hearings. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the subsequent protests as coordinated far-right violence, prompting the government to enhance police resources to manage such incidents. The court has allowed Rudakubana's identity to be made public to combat misinformation, with Judge Andrew Menary stating that public interest necessitated transparency in the proceedings. Two of the injured children have been discharged from the hospital while others continue to receive treatment.
