Vincent McAviney: UK Correspondent gives Southport stabbing update, accused named
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
The 17-year-old accused of the fatal Southport stabbings at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class has been named. Axel Rudakubana has made his first court appearance in the UK. British newspapers successfully argued the minor should be named, given public interest. Three children died and five more were critically injured in the attack earlier this week. UK Correspondent, Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge that Rudakubana has been remanded in youth custody. He says it's a complex operation, with the trial likely to take place early next year.
