Southport child killer Axel Rudakubana will be 'No1 target' behind bars as former prisoner warns 18-year-old could face being scalded with 'prison napalm'

Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana will be targeted all his life behind bars, like infamous child-killer Ian Huntley, a former prisoner has warned.

Rudakubana, 18, started serving a 52-year sentence at Belmarsh prison in south-east London last week. Due to safety concerns, he was immediately placed in isolation.

He was convicted of murdering three girls and ten counts of attempted murder.

He is now the ‘No 1 target’ for other inmates, who will try to kill him or seriously injure him because of what he did.

Ricky Killeen, 39, a former Category A prisoner, said: ‘Every prisoner will want to target him because he killed children.

‘Even small-time prisoners will try to attack him as that will mean they will get more drugs as rewards from other inmates.’

Killeen, who received a five-year sentence for a violent machete attack, mentioned that Rudakubana will remain in the isolation unit at Belmarsh for a mental evaluation. The Prison Service will then decide whether to keep him there or transfer him to another facility.

Rudakubana, known for his shocking murder of three young children in Southport, may face dangers in prison such as having hot water and sugar thrown at him, a concoction referred to as ‘prison napalm’ which can cause severe burns.

Prisoners also sharpen plastic handles of toilet brushes to use as improvised knifes, said Killeen, adding that Rudakubana will face attacks all his life in prison.

Huntley, a former school caretaker who murdered Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both ten, in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002, is still a target of inmates.

The Soham murderer was nearly killed after having his throat cut by a fellow inmate in 2010 at HMP Frankland in County Durham.

Killeen, who now runs YouTube channel Behind The Bars TV, said Rudakubana could eventually be moved to Frankland.

Ian Acheson, a former prison governor, said: ‘The threat Rudakubana poses to others is probably unquantifiable. The threat he is subject to will be extremely high. Child killers are at the bottom of the prison hierarchy.’

Mr Acheson, an expert on prison radicalisation, added: ‘Given the facts of his attack, the targets and the intent to make biological weapons [ricin] and reference an Al Qaeda manual, the obvious berth for him would be with Islamist extremists.’

Last night, Steve Gillan, the General Secretary of the Prison Officers Association, said: ‘Of course this individual is going to be a high risk, but the Prison Service have dealt with many like him in the past.’

The Ministry of Justice declined to comment.

PLEA TO TAKE DOWN SITES VIEWED BY KILLER 

THE Home Secretary has called on the social media giants to remove as a matter of ‘moral responsibility’ the material which was viewed by Southport killer Axel Rudakubana.

In a letter to TikTok, X, Meta and Google/YouTube, signed jointly with Technology Secretary Peter Kyle, Yvette Cooper told the firms it was ‘unacceptable’ that ‘such dangerous, illegal content’ could be accessed with ease.

The ministers referred to material found on Rudakubana’s electronic devices, including Military Studies in the Jihad against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual. They say: ‘We now understand that Rudakubana was able to easily obtain access to this document, and that it continues to remain available online.’

Detective Chief Inspector Jason Pye, who led the investigation into Rudakubana, revealed his frustration that it could take ‘years’ for companies to supply the data they hold on what he searched for. Rudakubana deleted his browsing history.

In the letter, the ministers point to stipulations in the new Online Safety Act, which mean that from March the social media platforms will be required to remove illegal content to protect users.
