On July 9, 2024, Axel Rudakubana stabbed to death three young girls, ages 6, 7 and 9, at a dance class in Southport in the northwest of England . I know the town well. I stayed there only a few years ago when visiting my sister and niece in Liverpool. My dad often took us there for an outing. It is a very pleasant seaside town less than 20 miles from Liverpool, where I was born and grew up.
This is a description of the crime from the Doughty Street Chambers in the UK:
On 13 July 2024, aged 17 years old, he [Rudakubana] purchased a large knife. On 29 July, he travelled to the Hart Space on Hart Street, Southport. He targeted a dance workshop for young girls, mostly aged 6 to 11 years old. There were 26 children at the workshop. Within 15 minutes, he killed three of those girls, and attempted to kill eight more. He attempted to kill two adults who tried to stop him.
The girls who were killed were aged 6, 7, and 9. Elise, who was 7 years old, suffered 85 sharp force injuries to her body. Bebe, who was 6 years old, suffered at least 122 sharp force injuries to her body. The children who survived suffered between one or two to 32 stab wounds.
Rudakubana was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in prison in January this year. This sentencing note from the Liverpool Crown Court gives a more comprehensive account of the horrific events, if you can handle reading it. Because he was seventeen and not eighteen at the time he avoided a whole-of-life sentence. Where is capital punishment when nothing else remotely fits the bill? ‘Executed and in everlasting Hell’ would seem a fitting epitaph.
If you look up the killer you will find that he was born in Cardiff in 2006 to Rwandan parents who had been admitted to the UK in 2002. You will also find a good deal of emphasis given to them being evangelical Christians. At the same time, one of the charges against Rudakubana was possession of an Al-Qaeda training manual. Put that together with killing girls dancing and it has the fetid smell of Islamic terrorism, though the authorities found nothing corroborating that connection — apparently. How can that be trusted these days is a separate question. What is clear is that Rudakubana is no evangelical Christian.
The police, in their monumental incompetence and loyalty to the compromised political class, gave out no information on the killer. Thus rumours spread. A popular variant of which was that the killer was a Muslim asylum seeker. A Muslim? I wonder why? Just a thought. Could it be anything to do with teen girls’ legs being blown off at an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017, in Manchester? Or the killing and attempted beheading of British Army soldier Lee Rigby in 2013? Or the London bombings of 2005? Or any of the 48,000+ deadly Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11?

Riots followed the rumours about Rudakubana which followed the killings. Starmer came down hard on the rioters. What else would you expect from Western politicians these days who represent no-one but themselves or perhaps, which comes to the same thing, some evil force or other. Over emotional? Maybe. But how else to explain them flooding their respective countries with culturally discordant refugees and asylum seekers, and then persecuting those among their own citizens who are driven to object.
Lucy Connolly, intelligent, personable, a mum and child-minder, wife of an engineer and Conservative councillor, objected. She had an immediate and impassioned reaction to the depraved murder of three young girls and the cruel wounding of others. Who wouldn’t? She posted this message on X:
“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the bastards for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.”
Thinking better of it, she deleted the post 3½ hours later. Though to me it is nothing more than a common or garden emotional reaction that you could have heard in any pub. She plead guilty to inciting racial hatred. She did not obtain legal advice and lacked an understanding of what it might mean to plead guilty, as she explains here. Obviously she did not expect to be sent to prison. She was sentenced to 31 months imprisonment. Jailed in October last year, she was freed in late August this year, having served the required minimum ten months.
