Southport killer Axel Rudakubana will not have sentence reviewed

The Attorney General has rejected requests for the Court of Appeal to review the length of Axel Rudakubana’s jail sentence.

Rudakubana, 18, is serving a minimum 52-year sentence for the ******* of Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, in Southport in July 2024.

In a statement issued on Friday evening, Lord Hermer KC said: “After careful consideration of independent legal advice and consultation with leading criminal barristers and the Crown Prosecution Service, I have concluded that this case cannot properly be referred to the Court of Appeal.”

He said that no one would want the families to be put through an unnecessary further court process “where there is no realistic legal basis for an increased sentence”.
