Teen dance class attacker faces new charges over deadly toxin and terror manual
Police found dangerous poison and terrorist documents in teens home after deadly dance class incident. New charges added while investigation continues into summer attack that left three young girls dead
Axel Rudakubana faces new charges after investigators found toxic substances and terror-related materials in his residence. The teen who allegedly attacked a Swift-themed dance class this summer is now accused of making ricin poison and having an Al-Qaeda training guide
The suspect — who turned 18 after the Jul-29 incident — was already facing charges for killing three young girls: six-year-old Bebe King‚ seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar. Heʼs also accused of trying to kill a yoga teacher several kids and a local business-man
At this time Counter-Terrorism Policing has not declared the events a terrorist incident
For UK law-enforcement to label something as terrorism they need proof of: serious violence threats to influence government intimidate public or push some ideology. The Cardiff-born suspect (whose parents came from Rwanda) had his identity shown after media asked the court to remove reporting limits
The dance-class attack led to wide-spread unrest in the area; some people spread wrong info about the suspects background which made things worse. Police say theyʼve made about 1500 arrests since summer in connection with the riots (that included burning police-cars and other stuff)
The investigation found an odd substance in Rudakubanas house — tests showed it was ricin; a bio-weapon. The Crown Prosecution Service added charges for making this poison and having terror-related files‚ but cops still dont know what made him do all this
