The judge, Andrew Menary<\/strong>, said he was lifting Britain\u2019s reporting restrictions based on age to help counter misinformation.<\/p>\n Southport mass murderer named as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana in court as restrictions lifted. pic.twitter.com\/PAe46n6An3<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Tommy Robinson \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 (@TRobinsonNewEra) August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cContinuing to prevent the full reporting has the disadvantage of allowing others to spread misinformation, in a vacuum,\u201d Judge Menary said, according to the Press Association.<\/p>\n After the mass stabbing, racially fueled riots ensued during a vigil held on Tuesday, incited by far-right provocateurs. Although the police said repeatedly that the suspect had been born in Cardiff, Wales, misinformation spread rapidly on social media claiming that he was an undocumented immigrant.<\/p>\n Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the Southport murderer looks very Welsh in his courtroom sketch \ud83c\udff4\udb40\udc67\udb40\udc62\udb40\udc77\udb40\udc6c\udb40\udc73\udb40\udc7f\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 pic.twitter.com\/0WChwLIIkW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 adamdog (@adam_doggg) August 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n More than 50 police officers were injured as demonstrators threw bricks at a mosque, attacked the police, set cars on fire, and damaged a convenience store.<\/p>\n \u201cThe individuals involved in the disorder had no regard for the families and friends of those who so tragically lost their lives, and a community in grief.
