Axel Rudakubana, 18 , is sentenced to more than 50 years in prison.

He stabbed three girls to death at a Taylor Swift -themed dance class in Southport , England .

Judge says he must serve 52 years , minus the six months he’s been in custody, before being considered for parole.

He interrupted the hearing by shouting that he felt ill and wanted to see a paramedic.

Prosecutors said Rudakubana was referred three times to the government’s anti-extremism program, Prevent, when he was 13 and 14 .

Heer: “His purpose was the commission of mass murder, not for a particular end, but as an end in itself” Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the country must face up to a “new threat” from violent individuals.
