Vurugu hizi ni kufuatia Shambulio la Visu katika Darasa la Dansi huko Southport lililosababisha Vifo vya Wasichana Watatu wadogo, huku kadhaa wakijeruhiwa.
Kulingana na Polisi, uvumi wa uongo ulienezwa Mtandaoni kwamba Mshukiwa katika shambulio hilo alikuwa mhamiaji Mwislamu.
Hata hivyo ilibainika kuwa Mshukiwa, Axel Rudakubana (17) alizaliwa Uingereza.

rioters attack asylum seeker hotels in UK’s Rotherham, Tamworth
Days of unrest continue in the United Kingdom as Prime Minister Keir Starmer says rioters will be ‘brought to justice’.

Far-right demonstrators have attacked at least two hotels housing asylum seekers as the United Kingdom grapples with its worst riots in 13 years.
On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered near a Holiday Inn Express hotel used to house asylum seekers near the northern town of Rotherham, throwing bricks at police and breaking several hotel windows, then setting bins on fire.
Footage from UK broadcaster Sky News showed a line of police officers with shields facing a barrage of missiles, including bits of wood, chairs and fire extinguishers, as they sought to prevent the rioters, many of them masked, from entering the hotel.
A police helicopter circled overhead and at least one injured officer in riot gear was carried away as the atmosphere turned increasingly febrile.
“The behaviour we witnessed has been nothing short of disgusting. While it was a smaller number of those in attendance who chose to commit violence and destruction, those who simply stood on and watched remain absolutely complicit in this,” said Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield.
“We have officers working hard, reviewing the considerable online imagery and footage of those involved, and they should expect us to be at their doors very soon.”
Late on Sunday, Staffordshire Police said that a hotel near Birmingham, which was known to have sheltered asylum seekers, was also targeted
“A large group of individuals” have been “throwing projectiles, smashing windows, starting fires and targeting police” at the hotel in the town of Tamworth, with one officer injured, the statement said.
The unrest is the latest in a wave of rioting in the country since a stabbing rampageat a dance class last week in the northwestern town of Southport left three girls dead and several more injured.
According to police, false rumours were spread online that the 17-year-old suspect in the knife attack was a Muslim immigrant. He was named in court last week as British-born Axel Rudakubanaafter a judge lifted reporting restrictions related to people under the age of 18.

Speaking on Sunday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised a swift response.
“I guarantee, you will regret taking part in this disorder. Whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves,” Starmer said in a TV address.
There was “no justification” for what he called “far-right thuggery”, which has led to attacks on mosques and assaults on Muslims and ethnic minorities, he added.
“People in this country have a right to be safe and yet we have seen Muslim communities targeted and attacks on mosques,” Starmer said
“To those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your faith, I know how frightening this must be,” he said.
“I want you to know this violent mob does not represent this country and we will bring them to justice.”
Starmer had been criticised by some for not being vocal enough in denouncing the explicitly racist and Islamophobic nature of some of the attacks committed by those rioting.
Zarah Sultana, a Labour MP who is currently suspended from the party for voting against the government, called on social media for Parliament to be recalled from its summer break.
