Southport killer’s brother asks whether attack could have been prevented

Dion Rudakubana hopes inquiry can help to minimise prospect of ‘the most immense pain’ happening again

The brother of Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has asked a public inquiry to determine whether officials could have stopped his sibling causing “the most immense pain, anguish and grief”.

In his first public comments since the attack last July, Dion Rudakubana said his younger brother had become “progressively more isolated” after being expelled from school in October 2019.
