Now that the young person from Banks, who had been charged with the murder of the children overnight but could not be named for legal reasons, has been identified and photographed, the charges against him have been dropped.
The authorities have revealed the identity of the 17-year-old boy who is being charged with the deaths of three young girls: Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar. It is also the first time that the teenager has been photographed.
The young man from Banks, who, for reasons related to the law, has not been able to be identified as of yet, was charged with the murder of the children throughout the course of the night.
This morning, he made an appearance before the Liverpool Magistrates’ Court, and the Liverpool ECHO has now identified him as Axel Rudakubana. This comes after Judge Andrew Menary of the Crown Court granted an application from the media to lift reporting restrictions in the case, which made it possible for the defendant to be identified.
However, Judge Menary remarked that “continuing to prevent full reporting has the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation in a vacuum.” This is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored.
“Whilst I accept it is exceptional given his age, principally because he is 18 in six days, I do not make an order under Section 45.”
According to the crime correspondent for Sky News, the decision to name a person who was under the age of 18 was a “rare” one. This was the case despite the fact that it was so close to the time that he would turn 18 years old.
It is a very unusual occurrence, but it is clear that the judge has accepted the legal arguments, he said.
Regardless of the circumstances, Rudakubana, who was born in Cardiff to parents from Rwanda, would have lost his anonymity on the following Wednesday, which is his 18th birthday.
Rudakubana has also been photographed, and it appears that he was wearing a school uniform when he was younger. This photograph has been made public.
A possible date for the experiment is “allowing for a number of weeks if required,” and it is slated to take place on January 20 of the following year.
While this is going on, the Liverpool ECHO reports that a plea hearing is scheduled to take place on October 25.
In response to Mr. Rudakubana’s request, Judge Menary stated, “I am going to adjourn this matter now.”
According to your understanding, the next hearing will take place on October 25 and will be a hearing for the preparation of a plea and trial.
“As I have already mentioned, you will be remanded into a secure accommodation at this time. “You are free to accompany the officer.”
As the child was being escorted to the cells, he once again attempted to conceal his face by covering it with his grey jail issue jumper, just as he had done on the way in.
The adolescent was taken into custody not long after the horrific attack that took place in the adjacent town of Merseyside.
The names of all of his claimed victims were presented to the court, along with description of the manner in which he is accused of assaulting them with a “kitchen knife with a narrow blade.”
Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were all killed on Monday when a knifeman broke into the Hart Space community center and began attacking children and instructors. This incident resulted in the deaths of all three individuals.
It was reported that eight other children were stabbed, leaving five of them in critical condition.
A group of social workers and members of a youth offending team were positioned on either side of the suspect. In court, neither the defendant nor any members of the defendant’s or victims’ families were present.
The fact that Rudakubana would accompany his father to karate training when he was a child has just come to light.
In an interview with the PA news agency, Sensei Chico Mbakwe, a martial arts instructor in Cardiff, stated that he was so terrible at the art that the school made an exception for him and allowed him to collect a refund before telling him to “get out.”
The following is what Mr. Mbakwe had to say about the conversation: “I told him, ‘You can carry on, but even if you have a brainstorm and turn it on now, I would still fail you.'” He stated that he desired to collect his money. It is customary for there to be no return of money once it has been paid, but I told him, “Give him his money back and tell him to get out.” I have not seen him since that point in time.
