An 18-year-old British teenager, Axel Rudakubana, pleaded not guilty to murdering three young girls in Southport, England.
The killings occurred during a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in July, sparking widespread rioting and unrest across the nation.
Rudakubana also faces charges for attempted murders, possessing ricin, and having an al-Qaeda training manual.
His trial is scheduled for January, prompting further examination of police response failures during subsequent riots.
