'Horrifying' gap in law stopped police arresting Southport killer

Police were unable to arrest Axel Rudakubana before he killed three girls and tried to kill eight more



A gap in UK law prevented police from arresting Axel Rudakubana before he killed three people in Southport. The UK's terror watchdog recommends creating a new offence to target lone individuals planning mass killings, as current laws focus on completed offences and the existing terror definition doesn't cover attacks without an ideological cause. The government has pledged to address the legal gap and tackle misinformation surrounding the case.
