Reflecting on the experiences of her male peers, she said: "Sometimes, I'll be saying, 'hi, how are you?' and they'll say, 'I'm good'. But deep down, they're not really feeling the best."

On each occasion police were called, they contacted MASH - a local grouping of agencies tasked with overseeing vulnerable people in the area.Children's Social Care carried out an initial assessment into Rudakubana, which found social work support was not required. It recommended "early help", the first stages of intervention.

Contact was made with Rudakubana and his family and they were offered guidance on his "emotional wellbeing and behaviours".He had involvement with local mental health services but "stopped engaging" in February 2023.At the time of the attack, social care professionals were assessing whether the then-17-year-old needed to be offered additional care to manage his transition to adulthood.

A spokesperson representing local agencies said his "participation and engagement remained a challenge" throughout this period, despite the efforts of professionals to engage with him.An independent review into whether more could have been done to intervene is under way.

Rudakubana's twisted interest in violence began to emerge both before and after the attack in Southport on 29 July 2024.

He came to the attention of the government's anti-extremism Prevent programme because he had expressed an interest in school shootings, the London Bridge attack, the IRA, MI5 and the Middle East.The Labour mayor for York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, said he was "disappointed" with the company's stance and would continue to hold meetings with its representatives.

Following his election in May, Skaith said improving transport links in coastal areas was a priority and that meetings with train operators in the region were under way to realise the plans.the rail operator's public comments did not reflect "the private conversation that we've had with them".

"I found that disappointing because we have got plans in place."We've put a specific team together with TPE, with Network Rail, and with the government to really drive that plan forward."
