Story summary
  • The UK inquiry into the 2024 stabbing of three girls found that Axel Rudakubana viewed footage of a prior stabbing on X before his attack.
  • The report faulted X for failing to remove graphic content and allowing Rudakubana to bypass age restrictions.
  • Inquiry chair Sir Adrian Fulford said X's inaction was deeply regrettable and could have influenced Rudakubana's motivations.
  • A second phase will address rising youth fascination with extreme violence.
