Southport attacker Axel Rudakubana called Childline in 2019 and asked “What should I do if I want to kill somebody?", a court has heard.
Rudakubana, 18, entered an unexpected guilty plea on Monday for the murders of Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9. He has been told a life sentence is "inevitable", though he will not face a rare whole-life order as he was 17 at the time of the attacks.
The prosecution said during his sentencing hearing at that on 4 October 2019, Rudakubana contacted Childline and asked about killing someone.
