Here is a timeline of events relating to the case: 2002: Rudakubana's father Alphonse moves to the UK from Rwanda, according to an interview he gave to his local newspaper in Southport in 2015. August 7, 2006 : Rudakubana is born in Cardiff, Wales. 2013 : The family - including Rudakubana's father, mother and older brother - move from Wales to Banks in Lancashire, a few miles from Southport. July 29, 2024 : Shortly before midday, a knifeman enters a dance class at The Hart Space in Hart Street in Southport. Bebe, Elsie and Alice are fatally wounded. Eight other children are injured, as are instructor Leanne Lucas and businessman John Hayes. Police say they have detained a male and seized a knife. Within hours, claims spread online that the suspect is an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat in 2023. Some claims include an alleged identity. July 30, 2024 : In the evening, a peaceful vigil is held outside Southport's Atkinson arts venue, where flowers are laid in memory of those who died.

Southport killer's cushy life in prison despite hurling boiling water over guard
Axel Rudakubana killed Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Alice Aguiar, nine, and six-year-old Bebe King at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside last summer Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has jail treats such as Maltesers and McCoy's delivered to his cell by prison officers - despite attacking a guard with boiling water. Rudakubana is still able to buy the snacks at London's Belmarsh Prison, where he is serving at least 52 years for killing three girls at a dance class. Sources inside the clink have called this "shocking and disgusting" as Rudakubana, 18, threw scalding water over a prison officer there earlier this month. The triple killer is also allowed to call family, have religious visits and receive money from relatives while at the jail in Plumstead area of southeast London. Responding to the development, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "I cannot believe this monster has been allowed to keep these privileges. "It's a disgrace. He should be stripped of them immediately, no questions asked. It's the least the victims of his horrendous crime would expect. We've got to regain control of prisons before an officer is killed." The stricken prison guard was rushed to hospital earlier this month after the attack. Yet, Rudakubana is still able to fill out a sheet and get treats sent to his cell, often delivered by close colleagues of the victim. "He's been spending £5.50 a week in the canteen since the attack, and can spend it on anything he likes as long as it's not dangerous. He's still allowed to buy things like Maltesers and Pringles crisps if he fancies them," a source told The Sun. "Prison officers, who are the colleagues of the guy he attacked, have to collect his canteen order and deliver it to his cell. It's made some angry and upset. The array of goods on the canteen list is quite staggering and it has all the decent brands." While the thug's TV has been removed from his cell and his time out of his cell has been limited, Rudakubana can also buy toiletries, vitamins, drinks and biscuits from the shop. The source added: "The principle of it is shocking — and he's been spending what he can every week since the attack. It's very rare for a governor to completely strip a prisoner of canteen rights but I'd say this is an instance where it's justified." The insider claims the teen has been sent money from his family since the attack on the officer, and has had phone calls with relatives. The attack saw Rudakubana, formerly of Banks, Lancashire, was allowed a kettle and is believed to have used it to boil water ahead of the "serious assault" on May 8. But he is, as a result, barred from buying anything that could be turned into a weapon, such as tins of tuna, after the jagged edge of a can was used to slash Sara Sharif's killer dad Urfan at Belmarsh in January. It is believed the guard in the Rudakubana case has returned to work. Speaking to The Sun, the Prison Service said it did not comment on individuals.

Shoppers spot tubes of rare Pringles scanning through for just 25p at major supermarket
SNACK ATTACK Shoppers spot tubes of rare Pringles scanning through for just 25p at major supermarket BARGAIN hunters are flooding Sainsbury's after shoppers spotted rare tubes of Pringles scanning for just 25p. The budget snack finds were spotted at a Sainsbury's store in Kingsway, Derby, with eager customers rushing in to snap them up before they're gone. Advertisement 3 The rare flavour first launched in January and seems to be making a surprise return — this time at a price that's hard to beat Credit: Facebook 3 The post quickly caused a stir on social media, with excited snack fans flocking to the comments to share their thoughts and tag friends Credit: Facebook One thrilled shopper posted online: 'Today in Sainsbury's (Derby, Kingsway) 25p per can. Not sure who is more happy me or my lil ones.' The post quickly caused a stir on social media, with excited snack fans flocking to the comments to share their thoughts and tag friends. One user said: 'Great find. Wish they would do it online.' Another wrote: 'I need to pop to Sainsbury's.' Advertisement A third added: 'Wish they would do this all the time.' Others simply tagged their mates in the post, encouraging them to dash to their local branch while stocks last. Some joked that they were planning a detour on their way home to see if the bargain crisps were still available. The rare flavour first launched in January and seems to be making a surprise return — this time at a price that's hard to beat. Advertisement Alongside the 25p Pringles, shoppers are also buzzing over the arrival of a brand new Kinder bar. Although Kinder has released many variations over the years, this latest addition is already causing excitement among fans of the popular chocolate brand. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains It's not just the low price that's grabbing attention — it's also the mystery around the flavours. Earlier this year, Pringles launched a Super Mario-themed mystery crisp, sparking debate online about what it actually tastes like. Advertisement One person guessed: "Yoshi flavoured." Another quipped: "It's going to be mushroom!" A third chimed in: "Magic Mushroom flavour?" The official flavour hasn't been confirmed by Pringles, leaving it up to fans to figure it out. Advertisement Many say it tastes like pizza, while others think it's more like spaghetti or even ketchup. A YouTube reviewer claimed the taste was 'a mix of ketchup, pizza and spaghetti in Mario style', which would make sense given the Italian roots of the iconic Nintendo character. This isn't the first time Pringles has teased shoppers with mystery flavours. Past limited-edition releases have included Southern Fried Chicken, Pickle, and even Carbonara. Advertisement So if you're craving something new, or just after a great deal, it might be worth heading to your nearest Sainsbury's. But be quick, because with prices like this, they won't stay on shelves for long. How to save money on your supermarket shop THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too. Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
