Southport Killer Attacks Prison Officer with Boiling Water at HMP Belmarsh
Axel Rudakubana, the 18-year-old convicted of the brutal murders of three young girls in Southport, has allegedly assaulted a prison officer at HMP Belmarsh by throwing boiling water over him. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon within the high-security facility. The officer was hospitalized at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich and later discharged the same day.
Rudakubana is serving a minimum 52-year sentence for the July 2024 attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, where he fatally stabbed three girls—Bebe King, 6; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9—and injured ten others, including two adults. He also pleaded guilty to charges related to the production of ricin and possession of terrorist materials.
Following the prison assault, authorities are investigating how Rudakubana accessed boiling water. He has been placed under strict isolation. This incident has intensified concerns about the safety of prison staff, especially in high-security facilities housing dangerous offenders.
Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced measures to enhance prison officer safety, including trials of Taser use and a review of body armor provisions. The Prison Officers’ Association has previously warned that Rudakubana would be a “number one target” for reprisal attacks from fellow inmates, necessitating his segregation for protection.
The assault on the prison officer underscores the ongoing challenges within the UK’s prison system in managing high-risk inmates and ensuring the safety of staff.
