The alleged perpetrator of the murder of three girls at the end of July in the northwest of England pleaded guilty on Monday, the first day of his trial at Liverpool Criminal Court. This knife attack sparked violent riots in the country.
The 18-year-old admitted the murders, committed last year at a Taylor Swift-inspired dance class in Southport. Ten other people were injured, including eight children, in one of the worst stabbing attacks in this country in years.
-The suspect also admitted to producing ricin, an extremely toxic poison, and to possessing an Al-Qaeda training manual. However, the “terrorist” motivation was not considered for these murders.
At his trial Monday, he refused to stand in court and answered “guilty” to every charge. The fact that he pleaded guilty shortened the proceedings and the judge announced that he would pronounce his sentence on Thursday.
