Southport killer moved to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital before attack anniversary

Axel Rudakubana, serving life with a 52-year minimum for murdering three children in Southport in July 2024, has been transferred from Belmarsh prison to Broadmoor, a high-security psychiatric hospital. Families, notified within 48 hours of 24 July 2026, accused him of "manipulating the system" given the timing days before the second anniversary. His sentence is unchanged.
