Teen's Deadly Rampage: Ricin Poison and Murder Charges

Axel Rudakubana, an 18-year-old from Wales, has been charged with producing ricin, a deadly poison, following a stabbing incident that left three girls dead. The attack, not classified as terrorism, occurred in Southport, England. Police also discovered an Al-Qaida jihad training manual in his possession.

In a shocking development, 18-year-old Axel Rudakubana has been charged with manufacturing the lethal poison ricin following a stabbing rampage in Southport, England, that claimed the lives of three young girls. According to Merseyside Police, the July attack, although severe, is not being treated as a terrorist incident.

The chilling discovery of ricin and an Al-Qaida jihad training manual in Rudakubana's home has added an alarming dimension to the case. This revelation has led to a separate charge of a terror offense against the teenager, who was born in Wales.

In the wake of the incident, Rudakubana faces three murder charges related to the deaths of Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Bebe King, 6. As the investigation continues, authorities are piecing together the motives behind the brutal assault.
