ears have been raised that Southport monster Axel Rudakubana could have been motivated to attack little girls by a hatred of women, or a dark “obsession with notoriety”.
Former classmates of the twisted teen have raised concerns that he may have stabbed a Taylor Swift themed dance class full of women and girls because he was “like an incel”.
The term refers to a male who is ‘involuntary celibate’ and blames women for their situation.
Police claim there is no evidence that the killer hated women, but officers have been unable to recover the laptop history he deleted shortly before the attack on July 29.
However Home Office sources confirmed there was evidence that Rudakubana, who once starred in a TV advert and attended drama classes, was desperate to be known and “obsessed with notoriety”.

One pupil who went to school with Rudakubana told the Sunday Times: “He didn’t have any friends…because he didn’t really fit in. He never spoke to girls. When my mates saw the attack they guessed it was because he was…like an incel.”
It is understood that he wrote to the National Crime Agency aged 16 asking it to investigate people who he claimed were bullying him. On another occasion he asked the NCA whether he was “known to” it.
During his sentencing hearing, smirking killer Rudakubana desperately sought to cause havoc and grab the limelight by shouting at the judge: “I’m not well, I need a paramedic”.
After being removed from the dock so medics could get a second opinion on whether he was fit to attend court, the sick teen agreed to come back quietly, only to disrupt the proceedings again when given the chance.
Friends of the fatal victims Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice da Silva Aguiar and their families have subsequently refused to call the killer by his name.
