Police are still on the hunt for dozens of suspected rioters a year after the Southport attack which sparked nationwide disorder.
Triple murderer, Axel Rudakubana, 18, stormed into a Taylor Swift themed class with a kitchen knife, injuring several children and adults on July 29, 2024.
In a brutal attack that shocked the nation, the 'sadistic' killer murdered Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, for which he was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years behind bars.
In the wake of the murders, disorder quickly spread across the country, amid false rumours that Rudakubana was a Muslim asylum seeker who had recently arrived in Birtain on a small boat.
Researchers say there were at least 27 million impressions on social media posts wrongly stating or speculating that the alleged attacker was Muslim, a migrant, refugee or foreigner.
