Axel Rudakubana, the 19-year-old convicted in the Southport attacks, faces fresh charges for assaulting prison staff and possessing an unauthorized weapon at Belmarsh in 2025 — charges that could land him in court next month. As his transfer to Broadmoor Hospital sparks alarm, the victims’ lawyer warns he may be deliberately re-traumatizing grieving families, especially as the anniversary looms. Despite no signs of psychosis at the time of the original crimes — which saw three girls murdered and others severely injured — the families demand he stay locked up, not treated as a psychiatric patient. Officials say he’ll return to prison soon, but the lack of transparency around his move is fueling fears and calls for urgent intervention.
