Eighteen-year-old Axel Rudakubana faces a terrorism offence, plus three charges of murder and ten of attempted murder after children were attacked at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
A viral Twitter post claims that Axel’s father was a perpetrator in the Rwandan genocide, also known as the genocide against the Tutsi, during the 1990s and that Two Tier Keir was involved in defending his asylum seekers’ claim in 2003. This Is not true.

During an interview with Winston Marshall, Nigel Farage, Reform Member of Parliament for Clacton, described the state’s response to the murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party in Southport as “one of the biggest cover-ups we’ve ever seen in our lives.”
Because of this cover-up, citizen journalists are naturally eager to get to the bottom of it, to discover what the state knows but is hiding. In a podcast yesterday, The Angry Bootneck highlighted Mr. Farage’s comments and some social media posts.
One of the social media posts that The Angry Bootneck highlighted centres around the identity and history of Southport murderer Axel’s father.
British corporate media are avoiding reporting the father’s name. For example, in an article titled ‘Who is Axel Rudakubana? What we know about Southport stabbing suspect’, The Times refers to Axle’s family members in generic terms, “father,” “mother” and “parents.”
And the Independent reported that “Rudakubana’s father is originally from Rwanda, a country that suffered a deadly genocide in the early 1990s, and moved to the UK in 2002, he told his local newspaper in Southport.”
However, The Comet did mention the father’s name, “A profile of Aphonse [sic] Rudakubana in his local paper, The Southport Visiter, said he moved to the area in 2013 and trained [in karate] with local clubs.”

And Ghana Celebrities noted, “[Axel’s] parents are Alphonse Rudakubana and Laetitia Muzayire.”
Centred on the identity of the father, a thread posted on Twitter on Sunday has gone viral. It has so far had 4.9 million views. The thread links Alphonse to a trial by the “international criminal court for participation in the Rwandan genocide in the 90s.”
The first court case the thread uses was a case in the United Kingdom in 2003 when six asylum seekers challenged the refusal of UK support. Keir Starmer Q.C. was acting for the asylum seekers.
According to the judgment, there was a Rwandan asylum seeker in the case:
M is a 42 year old Hutu woman from Rwanda. She had been living in a camp run by Rwandan soldiers since 1994 and was subjected to regular rapes and beatings at the hands of Tutsis. On 3 January 2003 she managed to escape and went in a lorry to Uganda. Her uncle there said it was not safe to remain there and arranged for her to go with an agent to the UK, flying from Kampala. There were two other women with her and the agent. The agent provided the necessary documentation which she did not see and he dealt with the immigration officer at London and then called her to come through immigration control. She had arrived in the UK on 7 January 2003. The form records that she said she did not know where to claim asylum when she got into the UK and she had no money and nowhere to live.” (see point 30 of the Handed Down Judgment HERE).
The Guardian reported on the case in 2003:
A high court judge was told yesterday that rules designed to halve the number of asylum claims were leaving hundreds of asylum seekers so destitute that they could not pursue their cases.
Keir Starmer QC told Mr Justice Collins that many had to sleep rough on the streets, and were so “cold, hungry, scared and sick” that in some cases they were mentally distressed. “It is inhumane to subject someone to that sort of destitution. There is no way they can prosecute their claims,” said Mr Starmer, who was instructed by the Refugee Legal Centre.
Treatment of asylum seekers ‘is inhumane’, The Guardian, 10 February 2003
The Twitter thread seems to have erroneously conflated the asylum seekers’ case with a criminal tribunal relating to the genocide in Rwanda. A tweet in the thread claimed: “Keir was in the Guardian, publicly advocating for this [Rwandan genocide], alongside benefits and support for Alphonse alongside other refugees.”
With the image of the asylum seekers’ case shown above, the tweet provides a link to download a Word document. Unless they are protected, Word documents are easily edited and changed. Unfortunately, in this case, the document has not been protected from editing. Another Twitter user helpfully provided a link to where this document can be viewed online to avoid having to download it. You can download the transcript directly from the ICTR website HERE, the transcript being referred to is dated 13 September 2006. We have not compared the documents to the document on the ICTR website to establish if they are unaltered. That the ICTR has published an editable Word document is very unprofessional.
The word document doesn’t relate to the 2003 asylum case, it is the transcript of a 2006 case filed with the International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda (“ICTR”). However, this could simply be a mix-up as both are mentioned and linked in the Twitter thread. The accused were Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, Arsène Nthahobali, Sylvain Nsabimana, Alphonse Nteziryayo, Joseph Kanyabashi and Élie
The ICTR was established on 8 November 1994, by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 955. Its primary mandate was to prosecute people responsible for genocide and other serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Rwanda and neighbouring states – including Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda – between 1 January and 31 December 1994.
The ICTR was the first international tribunal to prosecute genocide and crimes against humanity since the Nuremberg Trials. It was responsible for trying high-ranking officials, including military and government leaders, politicians, businessmen, religious leaders, militia members and media personalities. It delivered its last trial judgment on 20 December 2012, although appeals were heard in later years.
The ICTR transcript referred to on the Twitter thread mentions a person with the surname Rudakubana. A witness testified:
Ruhashya is a commune that is headed by a bourgmestre called Martin Rudakubana. Rudakubana, R-U-D-A-K-U-B-A-N-A, Martin. He was an MDR member and had been bourgmestre for not less than five years.
Nyiramasuhuko et al. (Butare) (ICTR-98-42) transcript: The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda, 13 September 2006
Bourgmestre is a French title equivalent to a mayor or burgomaster. The Mouvement Démocratique Républicain (“MDR”) was a political party in Rwanda, established in 1991 after the National Republican Movement for Democracy and Development (“MRND”) lost its monopoly on politics and opposition parties were legalised. The MDR’s primary base of political support was among Hutus in the centre of the country.
You can read more about the Rwandan genocide in the articles below, which refer to Ruhashya and its bourgmestre:
- April 26, 1994: Tutsi massacre at Mugina Catholic Parish, Kamonyi, Rwanda Broadcasting Agency, 26 April 2020
- “No One Will Be Safe From Disorder”, Huma Rights Watch, 1999
As we previously mentioned, it is not uncommon in Africa for people to be known by multiple names and also people are speculating whether Martin could have changed his name to Alphonse before migrating to the UK. But this is not the case.
We can confidently state that MDR’s Martin Rudakubana is not Axel Rudakubana’s father as the Twitter thread supposes. To provide proof, in 2017, Ugandan independent news outlet Red Pepper published a list of over 230 people of people wanted for genocide that the Republic of Rwanda had released:
Over two decades of manhunt, the Republic of Rwanda has released a list of over 230 people who are suspected to have participated in the barbaric 1994 genocide that claimed the lives of over 800,000 people.
17. RUDAKUBANA Martin, son of MUNYANDINDA and MUKAMBUGUJE born at KIBIKA Sector, RUHASHYA Commune in the former BUTARE Prefecture, and he is suspected to be in CENTRAL AFRICA REPUBLIC.

Does it matter? Just another bunch of english children killed by immigrants. You love them, so why complain when they do what they do? Oh, yes, it’s like when you complain when your foreign government screws you over for the billionth time – you don’t have the balls to do anything else.
Hi Truth Hurts, I’d be interested to know what you’re doing and if you feel it’s working?
WTF? You’ve spent years making money from this site and what have you achieved? And then you jeer at people while asking for more money. What he said is pefectly true. You don’t have the balls to actually do anything. By never telling people to do anything you’re working for the people you claim to be against. Not that anyone comes here anymore.
Hi DC Hodges, I ask you the same question I ask the user profile you are defending. What are you doing and are you having any success with it?
If you have a success story it would good for you to share it so other can try the same thing.
I see we have Zionist trolls casting their abuse. That proves that The Expose is effective.
Hi Cheery Charles, I doubt they’re “Zionist,” but they are trolls.
Hi Rhoda, I should said trolls who are the useful idiots of their Zionist masters.
Zionists, the Iluminati, the deep state – its a question of who are “they”, i.e the people behind the curtain? We don’t know.
Hi Cheery Charles, “Zionists” are not part of the club you speak of 🙂
Zionists are simply nationalists, 99% of Zionists are ordinary people just like you and me who support national sovereignty. The only difference between Zionists and other people who are nationalists is that it specifically refers to a Jewish/Israeli nationalism. Otherwise it is the same as American, British, Australian Chinese, Russian, South African etc nationalism.
Just as with people, countries have a right to be sovereign, to be self-determining and protect themselves from hostile people/countries. The Globalists are trying to override/remove that right, the right to be sovereign as individuals and nations, in favour of implementing a One World Government where nation states do not exist, countries’ borders do not exist, and every person on Earth is under their (UN-WEF) control.
When you understand this, you understand why there is a campaign against Zionists/Israel/Jews. They will start with the Jews as they have throughout history and then move onto the rest of us. It is the same plan being repeated over and over. Each time they attempt it, they learn from their successes and failures to improve their techniques for their next attempt. This time is a little different from previous attempts because they have the technology that could help them to actually achieve it.
“You’ve spent years making money from this site and what have you achieved?” – The Expose has spread truth and many people have been awakened. Who knows what they might eventually do, but if they hadn’t been woken by The Expose, they would still be clueless and never likely to act.
“And then you jeer at people while asking for more money” – who is jeering?
“By never telling people to do anything” – so want The Expose to give orders – to do what – “Sop up your beer and collect your fags”? You fool. What are you doing?
“you’re working for the people you claim to be against” – whenever I have tried to post a comment on a newspaper and mentioned the relevant article on The Expose, my comment gets instantly banned. The Expose is heavily censored, so that dismisses your claim of “you’re working for the people you claim to be against”
“Not that anyone comes here anymore” – you are here, I am here, so you are someone who makes false claims – a lair.
“Sop up your beer and collect your fags?” – I copied that line from a lyrics website then carried on writing my post, but afterwards I thought, “Wasn’t it ““Sup up your beer and collect your fags”?” Other lyrics websites say it is “Sup” not “spp”.
A tip there – always check against several sites as some are inaccurate and wrong.
Hi Cheery Charles, thank you. I’m not sure I could have said it better.
I see we have Zionist trolls casting their abuse. That proves that The Expose is effective.
“It is inhumane to subject someone to that sort of destitution.”
It’s done in j britain every single day. 300,000 homeless that no one cares at all about. Judges signing off on evictions just as fast as their j hands can. I think you have the j k confused with a non j country.
