Violent demonstrations have spread from Southport to London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot following the stabbings at a children's holiday club on Monday.
Yesterday community leaders said they were increasingly fearful of further unrest after mosques and asylum seeker accommodation were targeted by "intimidating" agitators.
The riots began after misinformation online about the identity and motive of the murder suspect, who was named yesterday as 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana. The media had been unable to name the teenager, who was born in Cardiff to parents from Rwanda, because he is under 18.
But a judge, Andrew Menary KC, said his name should be reported given that his continued anonymity risked "allowing others who are up to mischief to continue to spread disinformation in a vacuum".
Rudakubana, 17, is next due to appear in court in October accused of murdering Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Bebe King, six, and attempting to murder 10 others.
Rioters attacked mosques in Southport and Hartlepool on Tuesday and Wednesday following unfounded rumours online that the suspect was Muslim, when little if anything is known about his beliefs or motivation.
In Manchester and Aldershot in Hampshire, asylum seeker accommodation was targeted by demonstrators carrying placards that read: "Deport them, don't support them" and "No apartments for illegals". In central London, demonstrators threw flares and cans while chanting "Rule Britannia", "Save our kids" and the Conservative government mantra "Stop the boats".
