Published: 7/8/2025

Families demand answers as Southport inquiry opens following the tragic murder of three schoolgirls. The public inquiry, led by retired judge Sir Adrian Fulford, will investigate the circumstances of the attack and how young people are drawn into extreme violence. The families seek "real change" to prevent such incidents in the future, as they share their unimaginable loss. Rudakubana, the perpetrator, received a life sentence and is under scrutiny for his interactions with counter-extremism services.
