Vincent McAviney: UK Correspondent on the sentencing of Axel Rudakubana for the killing of three children at a Taylor Swift themed dance class

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The 18-year-old killer of three UK girls at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport last year is unlikely to ever be released from prison.

Axel Rudakubana's been sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in court.

He was convicted on 16 charges including murdering the girls and attempting to kill 10 others.

UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Francesca Rudkin he changed his plea to guilty earlier in the week.

He says Rudakubana acted out in court this morning, yelling that he was unwell, and had to be taken out for the disruption.

McAviney says it was felt he couldn't be brought back for the reading of the sentences.
