ALT Members of organised crime group jailed for laundering drug money

ALT Graphic reading: "I would like to take this moment to pay tribute to the victims and their families in this dreadful case. They have shown tremendous dignity and composure in the face of unbelievable horror. Axel Rudakubana is a murderer; utter devastation followed as he acted out a meticulously planned rampage of murder and violence. His purpose was to kill and he targeted the youngest, most vulnerable, no doubt in order to spread the greatest level of fear and outrage, which he did. Sarah Hammond. Chief Crown Prosecutor. CPS Mersey Cheshire"

ALT Axel Rudakubana guilty of triple murder in Southport stabbing

ALT “This was an unspeakable attack – one which left an enduring mark on our community and the nation for its savagery and senselessness. “It is clear that this was a young man with a sickening and sustained interest in death and violence. He has shown no sign of remorse. “The prosecution was determined to prove his guilt. Today’s plea has spared the families at the heart of this case the pain of having to relive their ordeal through a trial. “Our thoughts are with all those whose lives were altered by what happened on that day. “Most of all, we think of Elsie, Bebe, and Alice – the three beautiful young girls whose lives were cut short – and wish strength and courage to the families who loved and cherished them.”

ALT Graphic reading 'Yesterday we announced further charges against Axel Rudakubana. We want to remind people that criminal proceedings against Axel Rudakubana are active and therefore it is extremely important that there is no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings. We are determined to deliver justice in this case.'

ALT Graphic reading '“The Domestic Abuse Joint Justice Plan is about getting it right first time by bringing the expertise from both police and prosecutors to better recognise behaviour driven offending, and progress cases through the system to get justice for victims. “Getting cases through the system quicker is vital to breaking the cycle of abuse and safeguard victims, and whilst there may be complex cases that take longer, we have seen that when we work together to build robust cases, a charge is authorised within one day.” Baljit Ubhey CPS Director of Policy and Strategy'

ALT Graphic reading ' “Our people work incredibly hard every day to bring offenders of this despicable crime to justice, but we know there is still more work to do, and we are committed to achieving better, more victim-focussed outcomes for them, which is why we are working with the CPS on this plan. “As justice agencies, it is essential we work together to better safeguard victims and hold offenders to account.” Assistant Commissioner, Louise Rolfe NPCC Lead for Domestic Abuse'

ALT Graphic reading 'Spiking offences are sicking and when they are referred to us by police we will always seek to prosecute. Spiking may be a tactic in the build-up to a rape or other sexual offence. People who spike in those circumstances can expect to receive up to 10 years imprisonment, separate to the sentences for sexual offences. This new offence will be a welcome addition to our prosecutors toolkit. Jaswant Narwal. Chief Crown Prosecutor, London North'
