The brother of Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has given a devastating and exclusive interview, revealing the family's total condemnation of the 'monster' who murdered three young girls and injured others in a horrific knife rampage.
In a world-first sit-down, the sibling of the 21-year-old attacker described the overwhelming shock and shame felt by the family, stating they have been left 'broken' by his unspeakable actions in the quiet seaside town.
'We Are Destroyed By His Evil'
'He is not my brother. The person who did this is a monster,' the brother told The Mirror, his voice heavy with emotion. He detailed how the family is now living in a state of perpetual mourning, not just for the victims but for the life they once knew.
The interview paints a picture of a family grappling with an unimaginable betrayal, forced to confront the evil committed by one of their own while the world watches.
A Community in Mourning
The tranquil community of Birkdale, Southport, was shattered on the afternoon of the attack. Rudakubana, who was later found dead, targeted a children's dance class at the Willow Grove Sports Pavilion.
The incident sent waves of grief across Merseyside and the entire nation, as details emerged of the young, innocent lives lost in an act of senseless violence.
Family's Plea for Privacy and Respect for Victims
Breaking their silence, the brother's primary motive was to express their deepest sympathies to the families of the victims. He pleaded for the public's understanding, asking for privacy as they navigate their own grief and horror.
'Our thoughts, our prayers, everything we have is with those families. We are so sorry for what he has done,' he stated, emphasising that their pain will never equate to the loss suffered by the victims' loved ones.
The family's statement serves as a stark renunciation of the killer and a desperate attempt to align themselves with a community in mourning, forever separated from the man they once called family.
