Southport murderer caught on dashcam before attack

Footage from a taxi’s dashcam captured the moment that murderer Axel Rudakubana arrived at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class to carry out his murderous attack.

The video showed Rudakubana, who had booked the taxi under a fake name, ignoring the driver’s request for payment and going to the doors of The Hart Space in Southport on 29 July 2024.

He then went into a side entrance and carried out his crimes.

After admitting three murders and ten attempted murders, he was jailed for 52 years at Liverpool Crown Court.
