She said she had wanted to tell the media that Rudakubana was not a Muslim.Rumours also wrongly claimed that Rudakubana had come to the UK by crossing the English Channel in a small boat.In reality, he was born in Cardiff in 2006 to Rwandan parents who were Christian before the family eventually moved to Banks in Lancashire, where Rudakubana lived when he carried out the attacks.
Responding to Kennedy's claims of being ordered not to divulge more information to the media, Parkinson said: "As far as I am aware, this issue was never raised with the CPS again, and no statement was ever made by Merseyside Police about Rudakubana's religion."Had the issue been raised...

Latimer Park is great, but even if you built four beautiful stands there... it will never replace Rockingham Road."Memories of Rockingham Road will be stirred again this weekend as the Poppies prepare for their biggest FA Cup tie in years against "friendly" local rivals Northampton.
