A 13-year-old girl shouted “I’m going to f kill you” as she stabbed two teachers and another teenager at a Welsh secondary school, a court heard. The girl, who was a pupil at the school, later said “I stabbed her, oopsies” and “that’s one way to be a celebrity” in comments to police following her arrest.
Jurors at Swansea Crown Court were shown CCTV footage of the attack on two teachers at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, also known as Amman Valley School, in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on 24 April last year. School staff could be seen trying to talk her down after she stabbed assistant head Fiona Elias multiple times with a fishing multitool, before turning on Liz Hopkin when she tried to intervene – stabbing her in the back, neck, legs, and arms.
When she pulled the blade from her pocket, she shouted “I am going to kill you, I am going to f kill you,” the court heard. The girl managed to injure another teenager before she was disarmed and the police arrived, prosecutor William Hughes KC told the jury.
Paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service treated the victims at the scene, although Ms Hopkin had to be flown by air ambulance to hospital with four stab wounds.
Mr Hughes told the jury that the defendant does not deny taking her father’s multitool to school and using it to attack the victims. “She does dispute she did so with intending to kill one, two or all three of them,” he added.
The trial continues.
