The Southport killer has been moved from prison to a psychiatric hospital.
Axel Rudakubana was relocated to Broadmoor high-security unit after being housed at HMP Belmarsh since he was sentenced to 52 years for the murder of three girls.
The 19-year-old stabbed Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9, Bebe King, 6, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, at Taylor Swift-themed dance party at The Hart Space in July 2024.
Rudakubana received the second-longest sentence imposed in English legal history but calls for the prison term to be extended were rejected by the Attorney General.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed on Thursday (July 23) that the killer had been moved to Broadmoor by an independent assessment under the Mental Health Act.
A spokesperson said: “The families of those murdered and injured in Southport will be in this country’s heart forever and our thoughts remain with them.
“Any decision to transfer an offender is made following an independent, clinical assessment, under the Mental Health Act.
“Following rigorous security checks, the offender has been transferred to a high-security psychiatric unit, where he will remain until assessed fit to return to prison.
“Officials have approved this transfer, on behalf of Ministers. This transfer does not change his sentence – which remains at 52 years – and of which he will serve every single day.”
