The Prevent counter-extremism scheme wrongly concluded Southport killer Axel Rudakubana did not pose a serious threat, a government review has found. Security minister Dan Jarvis MP addressed the House of Commons and said Rudakubana had already discussed the Manchester Arena bombing and stabbing people when Prevent "prematurely" closed his case.

Security minister Dan Jarvis has told the Commons Axel Rudakubana’s case should have been case managed, not closed.

A review said the concerns raised should have meant Axel Rudakubana was given further support to be diverted away from extremism.
