Descripción:

The Prevent counter-terrorism scheme missed an opportunity to intervene in the life of the Southport killer, a major review has concluded.

Axel Rudakubana could have been monitored, treated and potentially turned away from violence by the programme, said Lord David Anderson KC.

He said the government programme must focus on changing people obsessed with extreme violence, even if counter-terrorism police find no evidence of an ideological motive.

Teachers warned Prevent officials three times that Rudakubana was obsessed with violence - but on each occasion his case was closed because he did not seem to have a identifiable terrorist motive.

The review also looked at failings by Prevent in the separate and earlier handling of an Islamic State supporter who went on to murder MP Sir David Amess at a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea in 2021.
