Taxi dashcam shows Axel Rudakubana before Southport attack

Footage from a taxi dashcam captured the moment Axel Rudakubana arrived at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class, where he murdered three girls.

The video shows Rudakubana, who had booked the taxi under a fake name, refusing to pay for the journey before getting out and going through the doors of The Hart Space, in Southport, on 29 July 2024.

A week before the deadly attack, doorbell footage shows the moment Rudakubana’s father stopped him getting a taxi to his former school.

On Thursday, after admitting three murders and ten attempted murders, Rudakubana was jailed for 52 years at Liverpool Crown Court.
