In Britain, the sentence was read on Thursday for the man who committed a knife attack in Southport, England in July, news channel Sky News tells.

Three little girls killed in an attack on a dance school Axel Rudakubana received a life sentence for his act. The minimum sentence is 52 years.

Rudakubana was accused of, among other things, three murders and ten attempted murders. He had pleaded guilty to all charges.

The July 29 attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance class was Britain’s worst mass stabbing in years. In addition to the three children under 10 who died in the stabbing, ten people were wounded in the attack, eight of whom were children.

Rudakubana was 17 years old at the time of the act. He has Rwandan ancestry but was born in Britain.

After the attack, incorrect information about the attacker’s background was spread on social media. The incident sparked several days of rioting, the most violent in Britain for a decade.
