Axel Rudakubana was 'planning England's first high school massacre'
Southport knife attacker Axel Rudakubana's father Alphonse ran out after his son and pleaded with a taxi driver not to take him on the journey from his home to Range High School in Merseyside.www.dailymail.co.uk
Southport knife attacker Axel Rudakubana is feared to have been planning Britain's first high school massacre a week earlier but was talked out of going to the building by his father, it can be revealed.
Armed with a large kitchen knife the teenager wore a green hooded sweatshirt and surgical mask as he left his home to a waiting taxi. It would be the same outfit he chose to wear when he went on his murderous rampage in Southport on July 29.
But his father Alphonse ran out after him and pleaded with the taxi driver not to take him on the 15-mile journey from the family home in Banks, Lancashire, to Range High School, in Formby, Merseyside.
eyewitness said: 'There was a confrontation and Rudakubana was eventually persuaded to leave the vehicle.'
There is no suggestion his father knew what he is believed to have been planning at the school.

Have to wonder though - exactly what did his father think he was doing ?
Particularly as we have been told he never left the house
