SOUTHPORT child-killer Axel Rudakubana was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in prison today for the “sadistic” murders of three girls.

The 18-year-old was sentenced in his absence at Liverpool Crown Court after indicating he would be “disruptive” if he was present in the courtroom.

Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, died in the attack.
