A year-old schoolgirl has been found guilty of attempted murder after attacking two teachers and another pupil at a school in south Wales. Following a week-long trial at Swansea Crown Court, the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found guilty of attempted murder. The judge said he would adjourn sentencing until April 28 for the preparation of pre-sentence reports, including a psychology report.
The girl previously pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent and a further count of possession of a bladed article on a school premises โ but denied attempted murder. During the trial, the girl told jurors she was sorry for the incident and could not remember large parts of what happened.
Ms Hopkin stepped in to help, attempting to restrain the girl but was injured herself, receiving injuries to her neck, back and legs. All three victims survived the attack, but Ms Hopkin, who was stabbed in the neck, had to be flown to Cardiff by air ambulance.
He thanked emergency colleagues and staff at Ygoll Dyffryn Aman for the way in which they dealt with this incident, and the local community for the support they offered to pupils at the school.
