There was “sufficient risk” posed by Southport killer Axel Rudakubana to keep his cases within the Prevent programme active and these were “closed prematurely”, Home Office minister Dan Jarvis has said.

Security minister Dan Jarvis has told the Commons Axel Rudakubana’s case should have been case managed, not closed.

The Prevent counter-extremism scheme wrongly concluded Southport killer Axel Rudakubana did not pose a serious threat, a government review has found. Security minister Dan Jarvis MP addressed the House of Commons and said Rudakubana had already discussed the Manchester Arena bombing and stabbing people when Prevent "prematurely" closed his case.

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was not considered a terror threat despite describing the Manchester Arena bombing as a "good thing" and "talking about stabbing people", a shocking report has revealed.
