I haven't seen anything in articles I have read about Axel Rudakubana today about a mental health assessment. His behaviour is so extreme, that it is difficult not to suspect he is suffering from an untreated mental health condition. Does anyone else think that mental illness may be at the root of his horrific crimes?

Probably somewhere he's 'not right in the head.' But honestly I'm not sure it's anything treatment could do - he's proud of what he did. To me he comes across like he's trying too hard - he wants people to realise he wanted to do these horrific things, and not 'blame it' on mental illness etc.

No.

He was in ashworth for a while and will have been assessed in depth

Of course it isn't. If he was found to have any mental illness then his defence team would've tried to use it.

He is just a very, very bad person.
