Prime Minister Keir Starmer says violence is "clearly driven by far-right hatred" The 17-year-old suspect, Axel Rudakubana , is named in court partly to counter misinformation about his identity.

He faces three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder for the eight children and two adults who were injured.

Police in several cities were pelted with bottles by crowds apparently reacting to the stabbing that killed three .

Several hundred people hurled bricks and bottles at riot police in Southport , set trash cans and vehicles on fire and looted a store.

Police said a name circulating on social media purported to be the suspect’s was incorrect and that the suspect was born in Britain , contrary to online claims he was an asylum-seeker.

Jonathan Brash , a member of Parliament from Hartlepool , said misinformation is being spread by the far-right.
