Southport killer Axel Rudakubana accused of throwing boiling water at prison officer

The 20-year-old allegedly threw a mix of sugar and boiling water through a Belmarsh prison cell hatch in May 2025. Prosecutors claim he also punched a guard in October and hid sharpened stone pieces under a shelf. He appeared in court on Monday from Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, where he was moved in July while serving a life sentence for the 2024 dance class murders.
