A British court sentenced teen Axel Rudakubana to a record 52 years in prison, minus time served, for murdering three young girls in a frenzied stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport in July.

Axel Rudakubana has been locked up at the 900-capacity HMP Belmarsh, southeast London, where he will wear a paper jumpsuit so he cannot harm himself in his tiny cell

Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley said the Southport attack which claimed the lives of three young girls was ‘not an act of terrorism’
