The Prevent counter-extremism scheme wrongly concluded Southport killer Axel Rudakubana did not pose a serious threat, a government review has found.

Security minister Dan Jarvis MP addressed the House of Commons and said Rudakubana had already discussed the Manchester Arena bombing and stabbing people when Prevent “prematurely” closed his case.

The now convicted triple-killer was referred to Prevent three times between December 2019 and April 2021 due to his interest in terrorist attacks and school shootings.
