A British teenager has admitted to the horrific murders of three young girls in a knife attack that left the nation in shock and triggered days of violent riots. Axel Rudakubana, 18, changed his plea to guilty on Monday, just as his trial was set to begin at Liverpool Crown Court. The attack took place in July at a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in Southport, a town in northern England. The victims—Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9—were attending the event when the tragedy unfolded. Rudakubana also confessed to 10 counts of attempted murder, as well as charges related to producing the deadly poison ricin and possessing an al Qaeda training manual. The case has drawn widespread attention due to its brutality and the ripple effects it caused across the country. Judge Julian Goose announced that sentencing will take place on Thursday. The attack not only devastated the families of the victims but also ignited a wave of unrest, with riots breaking out in several cities. This remains a developing story, with more updates expected soon. ---
