Axel Rudakubana sentenced to 52 years in prison

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana will serve minimum of 52 years for "sadistic" murders

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana has been sentenced to a minimum of 52 years for the "sadistic" murders of three young girls in an attack described as "shocking" and "pure evil". Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, died while eight other children and two adults were seriously wounded. We explore the background of the man who went from a seemingly ordinary child to a mass murderer.

Also tonight, as the Gaza ceasefire holds we spoke to a Palestinian detainee who has just been released.

And should songs be released after an artist's death?
