Not guilty pleas entered after teen accused of Southport attack does not speak…


Not guilty pleas have been entered on behalf of the teenager accused of killing three children at a dance class in Southport after he failed to speak in court.

Axel Rudakubana, of Banks, Lancashire, appeared via videolink at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday and failed to reply when he was asked to enter pleas to 16 charges he faces.

Judge Mr Justice Goose said he was satisfied the defendant could hear what was being said and not guilty pleas would be entered on his behalf.

Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine; Bebe King, six; and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; died following the attack at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class at The Hart Space on a small business park in the seaside town shortly before midday on July 29.

The defendant, who was 17 at the time of the attack, is charged with their murders as well as the attempted murder of eight other children, who cannot be named for legal reasons, instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes.

He is also charged with possession of a knife on the day of the attack, production of a biological toxin, ricin, on or before July 29, and possession of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism.

The terrorism offence relates to a PDF file entitled Military Studies In The Jihad Against The Tyrants, The Al Qaeda Training Manual, which he is said to have possessed between August 29 2021 and July 30 2024.

The ricin, a deadly poison, and the document were found during searches of the home on Old School Close that he shared with his parents, who were originally from Rwanda.

Rudakubana, unlike on previous hearings, did not cover his face with his sweatshirt during the hearing.

Instead he sat slightly hunched, looking straight ahead at the camera on the videolink from HMP Belmarsh.

Wearing a grey sweatshirt, with his hands on his lap, twitching, the defendant occasionally looked around the room.

Mr Justice Goose twice asked him if he could hear proceedings but Rudakubana did not respond.

A prison officer with Rudakubana then confirmed audio could be heard in the room the defendant was seated in.

The judge then asked the clerk of the court to put each of the charges to the defendant but, each time, Rudakubana did not respond.

During this process, taking around four minutes for all of the 15 charges to be put to him, Rudakubana began moving his head in a swaying motion from side to side and occasionally looked around, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, blinking.

About 15 people, including Alice’s parents and Ms Lucas, were in the public gallery for the 25-minute hearing and eight members of the press were in court.


Others watched proceedings in an annexe or over a videolink.

Adjourning the case, Mr Justice Goose said: “Axel Rudakubana, I don’t need you to reply.

“Your trial will now take place on January 20.

“You will be transferred from where you are now to a more convenient place for the purpose of attending this court.

“You must keep in touch with your solicitor and barristers. In the meantime, you will be remanded in custody.”

The trial is expected to last up to four weeks.

So his trial starts 20th of January. Same day as Anthony Esan's trial starts, the guy who stabbed the soldier.

You think they're trying to bury these stories low down the news cycle? Because that's also the same day of Donald Trump's inauguration.

Yep

And the MSM will love to not report it

Anthony Esan

Labour councillor Ricky Jones

Axel Rudakubana

They all have their trials scheduled for January 20, coinciding with Trump's inauguration day news blanket coverage...

Yes Ammi
Evil Killer

Lock him up
on Monday

Pleaded not guilty … after all we know about this case !!

They should just lock him up forever just for taking the pizz

…a change of plea…

Axel Rudakubana pleads guilty to Southport knife attack
18-year-old Axel Rudakubana will be sentenced on Thursday after pleading guilty to murdering three young girls at a dance class in Southport.….

The Southport attacker's shock change of plea meant the loved ones of his young victims were not present in court to hear him admit his guilt.

Axel Rudakubana, 18, was due to stand trial charged with the murders of three girls, aged six, seven and nine, who died in the attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on 29 July.

Rudakubana pleaded guilty on the first day of his trial at Liverpool Crown Court, admitting to the three counts of murder, the attempted murders of eight other children, class instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes.

He also admitted to possession of a knife, production of a biological toxin, ricin, and possession of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism.

The hearing, expected to deal with legal matters at the start of a four-week trial, instead lasted little more than 15 minutes. Mr Justice Goose said Rudakubana will be sentenced on Thursday.

The Southport attack, and misinformation online about the attacker's identity, fuelled a wave of rioting across the country, with mosques and hotels used for asylum seekers among the locations targeted.

The Evil Terrorist Killer Axel Rudakubana

Just a lovely young choir boy.

BREAKING.

Axel Rudakubana was referred three times to the government’s counter-
terrorism programme Prevent

One referral followed concerns about Axel Rudakubana’s potential interest in
the killing of children in a school massacre

He was first referred to Prevent when he was 13.


A further two referrals were made in 2021, all when he was a school child living
in Lancashire.

This looks like a complete and utter failure on the part of the British state

“He was first referred to Prevent over concerns he was looking at material
about school massacres in the US, and a fascination with violence.

He used computers at the school he attended at the time to search for
material on school massacres, it is understood.

By early 2020, after the first referral the previous year, it was assessed that
he did not fit the criteria for the voluntary scheme but should be referred to
other services.

Two years later, in 2021, he was referred again to Prevent after viewing
material on Libya and past terrorist attacks, including those on London in
2017.”

It's a joke

Disgusting left wing nazism. See on saturday in london, there was the national support palastine protest.

On that a section 12 was in place, which basically means protestors cant be in a certain area at a certain time. It was ignored by a large contingent of protestors, and the police were very lax in enforcing it. (It was in place so parading squadrons of young army cadets could do their full annual parade with bagpipes and everything could take place) The agreement was the palistine protest could be there, then leave, then come back for the speeches. They were only asked to move up the road a bit.

Anyway, no mass arrests for breaching the section 12.


Now think back to the 1st protest in London the weekend after the southport terror attack, where you had people just feeling like enough was enough, and they just had to make a presence at the protest. It was peacefull.

Yet the police had a secret section 12 in place and didnt share with that protest, like they did with saturdays palastine one.


So that day, instead of slowly and peacefully accepting the breach, they kettled about 200 people and arrested the lot. Old men, church going old women, youtubers, etc..

2 tier policing..again.

Anthony Esan's trial has also been delayed
