A 14-year-old schoolgirl who stabbed two teachers and a fellow pupil at a school in south Wales has been detained for 15 years. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, shouted “I’m going to f****** kill you” before pulling out a knife , and later said “I stabbed her oopsies” while sitting in the back of a police van. Jurors heard that the teenager, who was 13 at the time, attacked teacher Fiona Elias on 24 April last year during the morning break with her father’s multi-tool.
Liz Hopkin, a fellow teacher at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, stepped in to help but was also stabbed, before the teenager moved on to attack another girl. All three victims survived the attack, but Ms Hopkin, who was stabbed in the neck, had to be flown to Cardiff by air ambulance . After she was arrested, the girl made a series of unsolicited comments, including: “I’m pretty sure this is going to be on the news, so more eyes will be looking at me.
“That’s one way to be a celebrity.” More follows on this breaking news story.
