The Conservatives have called for a public inquiry into the Southport murders, questioning why police, prosecutors, and the government did not release more details about the suspect, Axel Radukabana, before his trial. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp suggested that the lack of information created a "vacuum" that led to misinformation, which exacerbated the riots following the attack. Government officials, including Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, stated that legal advice restricted their ability to disclose Radukabana's previous connection to the Prevent program and the discovery of dangerous materials in his home.
