Child killer Axel Rudakubana told police 'I'm glad they're dead' following the Southport attacks, his sentencing hearing was told before he was ordered to leave the dock after complaining of illness.
Rudakubana, 18, entered the dock at Liverpool Crown Court almost an hour after the hearing was due to start but spent just 10 minutes in court before shouting he felt ill and needed a paramedic.
Earlier, it was revealed the child killer was taken to hospital this morning but his condition was not deemed serious enough to postpone the sentencing. One member of the public mouthed ‘coward’ as Rudakubana was taken back to the cells just 10 minutes into the hearing.
Rudakubana unexpectedly pleaded guilty to the murders of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar on Monday when a trial was due to open at Liverpool Crown Court.
