Southport attack was 'preventable'

The first phase of the inquiry into the murders of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class has laid bare a series of systemic failures.

Chairman Sir Adrian Fulford found that Axel Rudakubana's parents failed in their 'moral duty' to report his escalating fixation on violence.

The 700-page report also criticized mental health services and police for a 'lack of curiosity' regarding the killer's online behavior.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has promised legislative reforms to address the gaps identified by the inquiry.
