New Rioting Erupts Across UK Cities as Arrests Multiply

The wave of violent unrest continued across parts of the UK on Monday night, with police facing attacks in Belfast, Darlington, and Plymouth.

Six individuals were arrested in Plymouth, where several officers sustained minor injuries, according to Devon and Cornwall Police.

In South Belfast, riot officers encountered stones and petrol bombs in an area near a supermarket that had been set on fire over the weekend.

The violence follows a vigil held earlier in the day for the victims of a mass stabbing in Southport last week, which sparked the unrest. Nearly 400 people have been arrested since the riots began.

In Southport, hundreds gathered for a peaceful memorial to honor Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, who were killed in the stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club. Children blew bubbles, and attendees left flowers and heart-shaped balloons in memory of the victims.

Merseyside Police reported that one child involved in the incident remains hospitalized, while all other patients have been discharged.

Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a 17-year-old from Banks in Lancashire, has been charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder, and possession of a curved kitchen knife. Born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff, Rudakubana moved to the Southport area in 2013.
