Parents of Axel Rudakubana, who killed three young girls at a dance workshop in summer 2024, also blamed by inquiry
Fulford said earlier intervention by schools, health workers or police would have revealed Rudakubana’s fascination with violence sooner.
He continued:
This in turn would have revealed earlier criminal acts committed or in preparation by the perpetrator leading to significant criminal justice and counter-terrorism interventions.
They had knowledge that he had purchased some weapons, and they knew he had tried to leave the house to carry out some form of attack at his old school just one week prior to the fatal attack, when there was a real risk that he was armed with a weapon.
They also knew of empty knife packaging once the perpetrator left the family home on the day of the fatal attack.
