Malaysian Student Sentenced for UK School Attack

News summary

Thomas Wei Huang, a wealthy Malaysian student at Blundell's School in Devon, has been identified after a court lifted reporting restrictions. Huang, who was 16 at the time, attacked two sleeping classmates and a teacher with claw hammers in June last year, claiming he was sleepwalking. He was found guilty of three counts of attempted murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 12 years. The trial revealed Huang had researched serial killers and was motivated by a personal grudge, stress from exams, and disputes with the victims, including being blackmailed by another student. The case has drawn significant attention due to its violent nature and the age of the perpetrator.
