BBC. How was the Southport killer allowed to fall through the cracks?
The first serious signs Rudakubana was capable of inflicting harm date back to when he was in year nine at Range High School in Formby, Merseyside.
At the age of 11, he had appeared in a BBC Children In Need campaign video, which he had been put forward for by an acting casting agency.
But over his adolescence, Rudakubana began to exhibit anger issues and a propensity for violence. Fellow pupils remember him being obsessed with figures such as Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan.
