I can’t believe what they’re admitting to the inquiry. This goes beyond naivety, or misguided parental protection. Their home life was a living hell, but he STILL obstructed any kind of attempt at intervention? Why? I don’t buy that he didn’t want his son to be taken away. Most parents would be looking for a way out of the situation they were in. Most parents would be looking to safeguard the clear risk their child presented to the public.
I just don’t understand it. I was also wondering whether Rudakubana Sr. could be prosecuted for this, although I’m not sure there’s a charge that could really be applied here.
Is the mother also going to be giving evidence?
