A father intervened just in time to prevent his son from a potential school attack
Southport: A shocking incident unfolded when Axel Rudakubana’s father caught him trying to leave home in a suspicious outfit. This happened just a week before a tragic stabbing spree.
Axel had ordered knives online and was planning to attack his former school. His father, Alphonse, noticed something was off and rushed out to stop him.
On that day, the school was buzzing with kids excited for summer break. Axel, dressed in a hoodie and mask, was ready to make a move.
As he sat in the taxi, his dad pleaded with the driver not to take him. A neighbor witnessed the scene and described how Alphonse begged the driver to intervene.
Eventually, Axel got out of the cab, but the danger wasn’t over. Just a week later, he committed a horrific act, stabbing three young girls at a dance class.
Now 18, Axel had previously attended a specialist school after leaving Range High School. Parents are understandably shaken, wondering what could have happened if his father hadn’t intervened.
One parent expressed their fear, saying it’s terrifying to think how close their child came to danger. The community is still reeling from the events that unfolded.
Axel is facing serious charges, including three counts of murder. He surprised everyone by pleading guilty to all charges, leaving many questions unanswered.
Sadly, the families of the victims were not present in court to hear his plea, as they expected the trial to start the next day.
