Southport murders: CCTV shows killer Axel Rudakubana moments before attack

Alex Radakubana, the teenager who stabbed three girls to death at a dance class in Southport, has been handed 13 life sentences - with a minimum term of 52 years.

Alice da Silva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Bebe King - died when Radakubana launched his pre-planned attack as they attended a Taylor Swift themed dance class last July.

Eight other children and two adults were injured as he delivered multiple stab wounds on his unsuspecting victims.

Earlier this week, he pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, ten counts of attempted murder, two terrorism charges, and possession of a knife.

The parents of one of his victims told the court today, "It feels like we're stuck in a five-dimensional horror movie."

Radukabana was sentenced in his absence - having been removed from court after twice after shouting that he felt unwell.
