Southport killer Axel Rudakubana ordered a taxi to return to his former school just a week before he stabbed three young girls to death.
Footage shows Rudakubana’s father pleading with a taxi driver not to take him to Range High School, which he was expelled from five years earlier, on 22 July, last year.
He was wearing the same hooded sweatshirt and surgical mask he wore during the attack one week later.
The 18-year-old admitted stabbing Alice da Silva Aguiar, Bebe King and Elsie Dot Stancombe to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
Rudakubana was today (23 January) jailed for life with a minimum term of 52 years.

Sickening man.
He didn't pay for his taxi fare unbelievable
Taxi driver let him get out without paying unbelievable
Who is filming him outside the school?
Uber
Death Penalty
Did the taxi driver not try and stop him running away without paying?
Taxi shud called police for none pay of fare like most doo his called could of helped stop this tooo
I feel bad for the taxi driver. That's got to haunt him. Forever thinking he could have stopped it.
It’s got nothing to do with the taxi driver !!!!
Taxi Driver obviously called the police why else would he be filming him after he left without payment, did the cops turn up ?
He thought he was killing for the greater good, only evil influence is to blame here.
Hate seeing this video.
Moments before the bloodshed
can someone tell me why he killed them children
Nobody blames the cab driver, but this journey must haunt him forever 😢
How did the driver just let him out like that after he hadn't paid?!….
Usually the cab doors are locked until payment for the fair is paid. If the driver had done this perhaps he would have ended up dead as well😮
What a sad soppy wet bollock excuse for a man. If this guy had a pair of nuts, and didn’t just rely on the police for every little incident, this would never of happened. Or at least would of been very different
Why is he still alive but the girls are not
This is an example of how young people can try disguise themselves, putting the hoody up and some form of face mask. It is a symbol of deceit of cowardice. Internally they feel very powerful because they believe that they can’t be seen. They have some sort of protective shield. It’s always a sign of something sinister.. hiding in broad daylight!
This is haunting.
Feel sorry for the cabbie
Where you find Racists, you also find Sexists, and Homophobes, EDL cannot stand girls/women, NF, TR and all their gammon mates can rot in hell, we are not your shield. You do not care about us kids. All you care about is fuelling Hatred and Violence. If I could vote to have NF and TR deported, I would. Get off our land. Get out of our country.
So did anyone figure out why the Welsh incel killed kids in Liverpool?
Taxi driver is lucky he didn't get stabbed.
The moment he walked through that open door was disastrous.
He's trying so hard to look scary – he looks like a goofball.
He had to target kids because he's a small weak little guy. He's a twerk who targeted the weakest victims he could possibly target.
Didn’t target a boxing club, kick-boxing club, football club, but little girls dancing. What a Big hard man.
Turns out the cab driver didnt even help and saw terrified kids fleeing. Called cops 50 mins later. What an idiotic coward!!!
