Summary

Axel Rudakubana was convicted of the murders of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance studio in Southport, Wales. He was said to be an introvert with a background in musical theatre. But that's not all...By the time he carried out the brutal murders of three young girls, he was well known to police, anti-extremism authorities including “Prevent” and a number of other public agencies. The government says more than a few opportunities were missed to stop him from turning his dark obsessions into a reality. This is what we know about his journey to becoming a killer - and whether it could have been Prevent-ed.
