Police reveal name, photo of teenage boy who k!lled three little girls at Taylor Swift concert

The 17-year-old boy accused of k!lling three little girls with a knife at a Taylor Swift-themed club in Southport, UK has been revealed as Axel Rudakubana.

The Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Andrew Menary KC, lifted the reporting restrictions which previously barred people from naming or sharing his picture because of his age.

The court was told that Rudakubana will turn 18 next week, on August 7. Judge Menary said:

Menary said not disclosing the identity of the suspect had the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation, in a vacuum.

Rudakubana, an introvert with some background in music, was born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents.

They lived in the village of Banks, just outside Southport, at the time of the attack.

He has an older brother, who was also born in the Welsh capital.

Rudakubana is charged with murdering Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class on Hart Street in the Merseyside town on Monday.
