UK PM supports murder victims' families as debate on death penalty resurfaces post-Southport killings.

The UK Prime Minister has expressed solidarity with the families affected by the Southport murders, where Axel Rudakubana, then 18, was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in prison for killing three girls. Reform UK MPs have called for a debate on reintroducing the death penalty, with some suggesting the crime should be classified as terrorism. A recent poll shows 40% of people still support capital punishment, down from 51% in 2010. The PM has emphasized support for victims and their families, while not commenting on the sentencing.
