Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was referred to Prevent three times between December 2019 and April 2021 due to his interest in terrorist attacks and school shootings.

He was 17 when he walked into a summer dance workshop on 29 July last year , stabbing 11 children and two adults and killing three others.

Security minister Dan Jarvis MP said the scheme closed his case 'prematurely' because he had already discussed the Manchester Arena bombing.
