An 18-year-old attacker who pleaded guilty to stabbing three schoolgirls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed yoga and dance workshop in Southport, northwest England, last July was jailed for life on Thursday.
Under this, he will be sentenced to a minimum of 52 years before being considered for parole. Axel Rudakubana (who was 17 at the time of the fatal attack) also admitted murdering yoga instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes at Heart Space, Southport, as well as eight other children aged between seven and 13. Had tried.
Justice Julian Goose, presiding over the sentencing hearing at Liverpool Crown Court, said that if Rudakubana had been 18 at the time of the attack he would have received a life sentence, which would have meant there was no possibility of his release.
Justice Goose said, “He will have to spend his entire life in custody.” I think he will probably never be released and will remain in custody for the rest of his life.
