Girl to stand trial for stabbing teachers and teenager

A GIRL accused of stabbing two teachers and a teenager will face trial later this year.

The now 14-year-old, who cannot be named due to her age, has been charged with three counts of attempted murder. The victims, teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, along with a teenage student, were injured in the incident at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman on Wednesday, 24 April.

All three victims received treatment for knife wounds and were discharged from hospital shortly afterwards.

In addition to the attempted murder charges, the girl was charged with possession of a bladed article on school premises. She was remanded to youth detention accommodation after appearing at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 26 April.

The defendant spoke only to confirm her name and was not asked to enter any pleas at Swansea Crown Court on 24 May.

Judge Geraint Walters ordered the defendant to appear in court again on 12 August, with a three-week trial scheduled to begin on 30 September.
