14-Year-Old Girl Guilty in Welsh School Stabbing

A 14-year-old girl has been found guilty of attempted murder after stabbing two teachers, Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, and a pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Carmarthenshire, Wales, in April last year. The attack occurred during a morning break, and the school went into lockdown as police and medical services arrived. Initially denying attempted murder, the girl admitted to wounding with intent and carrying a weapon to school regularly. The trial revealed that she had threatened to harm the victims and had a history of bringing a knife to school, reportedly stemming from being bullied at her previous school. The incident has brought to light her troubled background, including family issues and previous exclusions from school. Sentencing has yet to be scheduled by Judge Paul Thomas KC at Swansea Crown Court.
