What are the key failings in the handling of Axel Rudakubana's case, and what immediate consequences are there for preventing similar future tragedies?

Seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar, and six-year-old Bebe King were murdered by Axel Rudakubana in an attack that injured ten others. Rudakubana, despite a history of concerning behavior and referrals to Prevent, received a minimum 52-year sentence due to his age at the time of the crime. This has sparked public outrage and debate about the adequacy of the justice system.
