I think I read this am that the killer was of Somali origin but born in Wales. There was an online post stating he came over on a boat last year and his name was Al shahid Al something or another so the usual suspects are taking advantage of the anti immigrant climate.
Bottom line though there are 3 dead little girls and several other people in ICU. Terribly tragic situation.

RIP to those babies
Very sad
Sad rip
Can they lock up Huw Edwards now?
That's unconfirmed and the police aren't treating it like a terrorism case. So IDK. Also I don't know the UK laws, but in the US even suspects under the age of 18 get their identities hidden unless they are charged as adults.
17 year old name is Axel Rudakubana, he's Black
UK Brehs what is the climate over there? Will there be retaliation murders?
Feel it 4 the Somali community
They dont associate with the majority of UK blacks
He Somali?
I thought he was because of his head shape he's Rwandan
wtf?
Rudakubana, who spent the entire 55 minutes of the hearing covering his whole face, with his grey sweatshirt pulled up to his hairline, and at times rocking back and forth and side to side, will next appear at Liverpool Crown Court on October 25. He is charged with the attempted murder of two adults, yoga class instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes, as well as the attempted murder of the eight children who cannot be named for legal reasons.

He is also charged with possession of a bladed article, a curved kitchen knife, the court heard. Born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents, Rudakubana had been living in the village of Banks, just outside Southport, at the time of the attack. He has been described as an introvert with a background in musical theatre.
Helen, a neighbour of the family while they lived there, told the BBC of her shock, adding: “They were a lovely young couple. They were little boys, they were boisterous. Mum was a stay-at-home mum, Dad was nice, he went to work every day. They had a small family car, a little hatchback.”
Another former neighbour of Rudakubana’s family described him as a “quiet” boy who was clingy to his mother as a child. A 51-year-old teaching assistant who lives opposite the family’s former home, told the Daily Telegraph: “There were no problems while they were living here – they were a friendly couple with two little boys. I can’t believe what’s happened.”
Rudakubana would accompany his father to karate classes as a child, sensei Chico Mbakwe, an instructor in Cardiff, said. He told the PA news agency: “He would come and do grading and his father would take him home. I can’t even really remember the boy but can vaguely remember the dad. The last time I saw the father he was taking part in his grading, he wasn’t my student, he was somebody else’s."

The family reportedly moved to the Southport area around 2013 and lived in a semi-detached property in a quiet cul-de-sac in Banks. Neighbours have said the family are “heavily involved with the local church”, and that they would often hear singing from their house, the Liverpool Echo reported.
The Times reported that Rudakubana has a background in musical theatre. A friend from his musical theatre group told the newspaper he “turned up one day in class, and they said ‘make him welcome, because he’s just moved from quite far away'”. He was said to have appeared in a musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre in the West End.
“I think it was more him trying to branch out and meet kids in the community… he was enjoying it but you know, with musical theatre kids… they’re very extroverted, he wasn’t, he was very quiet,” the friend said. He didn’t really talk about himself that much.”
