UK may need new scheme to detect people obsessed with violence, report to say

Exclusive: Report into Prevent criticises handling of Southport attacker and man who killed MP David Amess

A new scheme to detect people who are obsessed with violence before they kill, such as the Southport attacker Axel Rudakubana, should be considered by the government, an official report will say.

The report into Prevent, the controversial programme intended to stop people from becoming terrorists, will also find repeated “failings” in the case of the man who went on to assassinate the MP Sir David Amess, the Guardian understands.
