Axel Rudakubana, who is serving a life sentence for the murders of three girls in Southport in 2024, has been charged with multiple assaults on prison staff, police have stated.
Rudakubana, now 19, faces charges including attempted grievous bodily harm in connection with an incident in May 2025, and assault on an emergency worker two days earlier. He is also charged with possession of an offensive weapon in prison and another count of assault on an emergency worker, according to the Metropolitan Police.
He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 11 September. Rudakubana was recently transferred from prison to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital after it was determined he could not be safely managed in a prison environment.
In 2024, Rudakubana, then 17, carried out a knife attack in Southport, killing Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine. He also injured 10 other people. He was jailed for a minimum of 52 years after admitting to the killings.
