Axel Rudakubana was aged just 17 at the time of the attack
Axel Rudakubana, 18, of Banks, Lancashire, was to stand trial at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday charged with 16 offences, including three counts of murder.
He also pleaded guilty to possession of a knife. Mr Justice Goose said Rudakubana will be sentenced on Thursday. The ricin, a deadly poison, and the document were found during searches of the home on Old School Close which he shared with his parents, who are originally from Rwanda. Unrest erupted across the UK in the wake of the Southport attack, with mosques and hotels used for asylum seekers among the locations targeted.
During the hearing on Monday, Stan Reiz, defending, told the judge: “I am instructed for the indictment to be put again.”
