Axel Rudakubana , 18 , admitted murdering Alice da Silva Aguiar , nine , Bebe King , six , and Elsie Dot Stancombe , seven , in July last year .

He was referred to the government anti-extremism scheme - known as Prevent - three times before the murders due to a fixation with violence.

Yvette Cooper said: "The families and the people of Southport need answers about what happened leading up to this attack" RudakUBana is set to be sentenced on Thursday - with the judge saying a life sentence is "inevitable".
