The family of the Southport attacker have been moved to a "secret location" by police for their own protection, leaders at the church his father attended say. Axel Rudakubana, 18, yesterday pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and 10 of attempted murder for fatally stabbing Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and injuring 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club on 29 July last year. Leaders of The Community Church in Southport, where Rudakubana's father Alphonse was a "valued part" of the congregation, released a statement addressing previous speculation about him after his son's plea.
