A recent review revealed that the name misspelling of Axel Rudakubana by Prevent officers potentially contributed to the inadequate monitoring that allowed him to kill three young girls during a dance class. Rudakubana, who was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years, had multiple referrals alerting authorities to his threatening behavior, including comments about murder and an obsession with mass violence. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced a public inquiry to investigate overlooked opportunities to address Rudakubana's escalating dangerous behavior, calling for a thorough examination of the Prevent process and its past failures.
Rudakubana's case was mishandled by Prevent officers due to a misspelling of his name, leading to a tragic oversight that allowed him to commit murder.
The review highlights serious failures in the handling of Rudakubana's referrals to Prevent, which may have prevented him from being monitored adequately before the killings.
