Axel Rudakubana, 17, pleaded guilty to murdering three young girls in a brutal attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, marking Britain's worst attack on children since Dunblane.
The defendant's attack on 29 July left Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, dead, and attempted to kill eight other children and two adults.
After the attack in Southport, the community was left in devastation, experiencing riots across the country, highlighting the deep social impact of this targeted violence.
During his appearance in court, Rudakubana wore a mask and initially refused to confirm his identity, eventually pleading guilty in a barely audible voice as the proceedings stunned onlookers.
