'What led up to the summer disorder was ultimately the withholding of information about Rudakubana'
Axel Rudakubana, an 18-year-old son of Rwandan immigrants, pleaded guilty to murdering three girls and attempting to murder others. He also admitted to producing ricin and possessing a jihadist training manual.
