Big takeaway from the trial today:
Rudakubana was referred to the government’s Prevent programme on more than one occasion.
The first time came in 2019 when teachers became concerned with his obsession with school massacres – at the age of just 13.
It is believed he was referred to Prevent again in 2021 following his expulsion from the Range High School, when staff became concerned about his interest in the terror attacks in London in 2017.
However the referral was not escalated as it was deemed he did not pose a terrorism risk.
