Retailer had 'no curiosity' over sale
THE director of an online knife shop that sold a machete to the Southport attacker admitted to a public inquiry that he had no "curiosity" about who was buying the weapon.
Axel Rudakubana bought the Black Panther Kukri machete, which had a 16.5in blade, from the Knife Warehouse in October 2023, when he was still 17.
He was able to buy the weapon with a driving licence registered to a man in his 60s living in Uxbridge, west London, 200 miles from the delivery address, which was Rudakubana's family home in Banks, Lancashire.
