WATCH: Our Chief Constable Serena Kennedy has spoken at a press conference following a decision by the @CPSUK to charge Axel Rudakubana with further offences. The criminal proceedings against Axel Rudakubana are active and therefore it is extremely important that there is no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings. Following the charges today, our Chief Constable took part in a press conference to confirm the charges and reassure our communities. Please watch the video in full so that you are as informed as possible but avoid speculation as we must let the court process runs its course. We owe that to the victims. Please be aware that, as this case is ongoing and court proceedings are active, comments have been switched off.
