Southport Triple Killer Axel Rudakubana should have been considered a terror risk after he had made threats for killing children and teachers, but experts missed the warning signals, according to a damned review.
The blades that children attacked in a dance class with Taylor Swift theme had been referred three times to the government's de-radicalization program.
But in a catalog of blunders – including the spelling of his name – experts did not manage to put the teenager on a schedule to tackle potential terrorists before he went to his disaster.
He then killed Alice da Silva Aguiaar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, Zeven, in Southport last July.
Instead, his references were closed by preventing 'prematurely', without being fully investigated, because he did not show clear ideology. But the assessment discovered that his fascination for extreme violence should have placed him under the microscope.
Security Minister Dan Jarvis said: “There was sufficient risk for the perpetrator to be managed by preventing,” and added: “There are serious questions about how different agencies cannot identify and act collectively on the warning signals.”
Southport MP Patrick Hurley said, “Some details in this report, in this review, beggar faith.”
Yesterday, the damn insight into the case revealed how Rudakubana, now 18 years old, had admitted that he had worn a knife more than ten times, spoke about 'killing teachers' and wanted a boy's knives he had attacked with a hockey stick for' to finish him off '.

Towards the age of 13, he was examined for shootings at school, spoke about 'stabbing people' and claimed the terrorist attack of Manchester Arena 2017, in which 22 men, women and children were killed, was a 'good thing'.
Crocheted by videos of 'people who hurt themselves', the disturbed student was tackled to talk to students about killing someone with a broken practice bit and asked art teachers if he could have a 'photo of a severed head to draw'.
But in a hurry to close his case 'prematurely', experts may not have been able to consider considering all the evidence because his name was wrong in files, according to the report. Prevent also did not complete research lines and ensure that he was a risk for staff and that students were wiped away as a 'knee-jerk reaction'.
Morned officers placed 'too much focus' … 'about the absence of a separate ideology', and missed signs of his escalating risk, the report concluded.
Yesterday, Mr Jarvis announced that Rudakubana will be considered a 'registered terrorist perpetrator' after being imprisoned for the murders for 52 years last month and for producing the Gif Ricin with the help of a terrorist manual.
A parent whose daughter was in the year of Rudakubana, said last night: “I was done more than I imagine three more little girls in Southport.”
Rudakubana was first referred to Prevent on December 5, 2019, after he was excluded from the High School Range in MerseSide for wearing a knife. He was also caught looking for school shooting at a computer lesson on November 15, 2019. It then turned out that Rudakubana had contacted the National Crime Agency months earlier, and reported that he was being bullied at school and resorted to a knife in lessons Ten times.
During an art lesson at his new school, Acorns School in Ormskirk, Rudakubana wondered on December 3 why he was able to draw weapons, but not to investigate them on the internet and ask a teacher: 'Then we can have a picture of Have a severed head? '
An emergency meeting was arranged with agencies, but the police refused to be present.

Six days after the reference, Rudakubana was arrested on December 11 for beating a boy with a hockey stick.
He was found with a knife and told the police that he was planning to finish him with the knife and did not “suffer from the prison prospects.”
A family member also warned officers of his 'hit list' of 'Doelen'.
His case was concluded on January 31, 2020, because prevented that there was no worries about the fight against terrorism, but it could not consider his bullying as a potential 'motivating factor', the assessment showed.
Yesterday the report concluded: 'Closure on this point was premature because there was still some important information that was not yet known about what was held on his devices and the history of the internet.
'A number of factors were present to worry about Rudakubana and his potential vulnerability to be attracted to terrorism.
The investigation of shootings at school, talking about stabbing people, stating that the terrorist attack on the men (Arena) was a good thing, may have shown a real interest in terrorism.
'It is the opinion of the reviewer that there was sufficient information to refer this case to Kanaal [a Prevent programme]. '

Teachers made a second reference on February 1, 2021, after a student showed them on social media messages that suggested that Cardiff-born Rudakubana was radicalized. But his name was wrongly spelled on the file, which meant that information might not have appeared in searches.
On February 17, the case was 'quickly closed on minimal information', whereby they prevent potential lines of research from not completing, including not speaking with the referring teacher or student, no internet search assignments at school or consulting the parents of Rudakubana, who to the VK have moved, which moved to the UK, moved to the UK, moved to the UK, moved to the UK, moving to the United Kingdom to escape from the Rwandan genocide.
A third reference was made on April 26, 2021, when the 14-year-old was looking for terror attacks in London and “showed a passionate interest in Israel/Palestina conflict, MI5 and the IRA.” His name was spelled differently again.
Head of counter-terrorism policing Matt Jukes said that the prevention system at the time was 'not equipped' to 'tackle emerging risks that were very different from what it was built'.
