The 17-year-old charged with murdering three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club in Southport can be named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana after reporting restrictions were lifted.
The teenager appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday morning charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder. He was remanded in custody.
Earlier on Thursday, Axel, from Banks in Lancashire, appeared in the dock at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court for a preliminary hearing.
Axel, who turns 18 on Aug 7, was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff before moving to Banks.
