The Southport attacker contacted two archery retailers when he was 15 asking if they could deliver crossbows in “discreet” packaging, the public inquiry into the attack has heard.
Axel Rudakubana, who killed Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29 last year, had sent emails to Tactical Archery and Merlin Archery just over two years before his attack, the Southport Inquiry heard on Wednesday.
