Video Details

• Title: Footage has been released from a taxi dashcam that captured the moment Southport killer Axel Rudakubana arrived at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class, where he murdered three girls last year. The video shows Rudakubana, who had booked the taxi under a fake name, refusing to pay for the cab before getting out and entering The Hart Space in Southport on July 29, 2024. Judge Julian Goose sentenced Rudakubana to 13 life terms for the three murders and 10 attempted murders, stating he believed it is “highly likely that he will never be released,” ordering he should serve a minimum of 52 years. #10newsfirst #southport #uk #liverpoool #crime
