Prevent missed chances with Southport killer, says review

Prevention of the Anti -Terror Plan, Southport missed the opportunity to intervene in the life of the murderer, a great investigation ended.

Lord David Anderson KC said that Axel Rudakubana could be monitored by the program, can be treated and potentially away from violence.

Even if the Minister of Anti -Terrorism could not find evidence of an ideological motion, the government program should focus on changing people obsessed with extreme violence.

The teachers blocked the authorities three times that Rudakubana was obsessed with violence – but on every occasion, the case was closed because there was no identifiable terrorist motivation.

The investigation also looked at the failures by preventing a separate and earlier handling of an Islamic State supporter who continued to kill Deputy Sir David Amess at an election surgery in Leigh-On-Sea in 2021.

Independent Prevention Commissioner Lord Anderson asked the prevention system to do more to describe future attackers from public social media activities, and the plan should be part of a wider plan to identify people who can perform excessive violence actions.

Rudakubana He is sentenced to life imprisonment for at least 52 years 7 -year -old Elsie Dot Stancombe and 9 -year -old Alice Da Silva Aguiar were armed with a knife after entering a Taylor Swift -themed workshop at Southport.

He seriously injured eight girls and two adults trying to stop him.

Between 2019-2021, teachers directed Rudakubana to prevent police, police and other agencies against potential extremism supporters three times under a national mission.

In all areas of the UK, a local agency panel, managed by the police, evaluates whether a marked individual needs expert assistance, such as counseling to change his views.

However, every time the teachers marked Rudakubana and his case was rejected.

Lord Anderson said he praised the teachers who expressed their concerns, but Const did not have the opportunity to take action. Southport, led by the judge, will be to investigate the decisions taken by individual authorities for a public investigation.

“The failure of this system. What I see is enough to make sure what to prevent what I need to learn about the lessons from Rudakubana.” He said.

He continued: “It should be clearly stated that individuals arising from violence are covered by this scope.

“Although Axel Rudakubana had an attitude attributed to extreme violence … He did not have a fixed ideology.

“This means that he cannot be mahkencedm as a terrorist in solid law.

“Does this mean that Bingi should have nothing to do with him?

“People had a guide who said they were suitable to take the lead if people had confused, uncertain or undecided ideologies, or indeed obsessed with the school massacres, which was certainly one of their interests.”

Lord Anderson said Rudakubana could be directed to a specialist mentor who can change him.

“It always doesn’t work, but if you get the right mentor who says the right mentor at the right time, the effects may be quite remarkable,” he said.

“Nobody knows if it would be in Rudakubana’s case. But Prote was given a chance. He didn’t get a chance. And that’s very, very sad.”

Lord Anderson said Cinay had to “upgrade his game” in the online world where most radicalization is currently taking place.

In the case of Rudakubana, a teacher said that there may be opportunities to see that they reported some of the extreme materials he was looking at and published online.

Fintert should spend more time to see that extremist supporters are publicly published to the public, and that this study could be done from the police and MI5 to someone who might not be dangerous to someone who may not be dangerous to separate secret resources and hidden intelligence collecting techniques.

Chris Walker, a lawyer representing the three -year -old family in a public investigation on Southport murders, said that he emphasized “failures” when the investigation envisages the investigation.

“Lord Anderson is right about the need to learn the lessons, and we call them to make them do more than just paying lip service,” he said.

“Now, if the results were taken in this case, who did them, and if they were not taken, would be different.”

If the deputy Sir David Amess was killed in 2021, teachers sent a specialist mentor to meet the young Ali Harbi Ali’s potentially dangerous and to meet the young of a prevention panel in London and challenge seven years ago.

However, his mentor held only a meeting with him and was closed without sure whether his case changed.

“In the case of Ali Harbi Ali, there was a series of failures on the way to prevention.” He said.

“They are largely a human error.

“There are all kinds of procedures, all kinds of guidance, all kinds of training, and all kinds of training and together, these changes make this kind of human error again makes it less possible.”

Radd Seiger, the adviser and spokesman of the Sir David family, said that when Lord Anderson’s report was handled by his home office, they were “deeply sad” and “obviously uncomfortable”.

He told the family that the report was given in advance of the report or the opinion of the report, and that media leaks were more insulting to the family.

Mr. Seiger said the Minister of Interior received a letter that “to protect the government following their failures” and said that they were designed to avoid support them.

Interior Minister Yette Cooper said the government would “move immediately” to the findings of Lord Anderson’s findings.

In a written statement, the front workers, who have a task of guidance to prevent individuals, will receive guidance, so that extreme violence or mass wounded attacks should be referred to the Anti -Terror Program, he said.

Cooper also said that the study will continue to look at how the connection with wider violence and protection efforts is connected and that the authorities will work with technology companies to increase the efforts of fighting online radicalization.
