A teenage girl made a shocking statement after she stabbed two teachers and another student at her school. The 14-year-old was caught on CCTV attacking her teachers before turning on a fellow classmate at Amman Valley School in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. As she was being taken away by authorities, she told them, "that's one way to be a celebrity."
The court was shown the footage of the attack as the trial of the teenage girl began. The prosecution, led by William Hughes KC, stated that the girl had told police officers upon her arrest, "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." However, she also expressed concern about the well-being of her victims, asking if they were dead and how she would face her family after her actions.
It was revealed that the girl had used a multi-tool, which her father used for fishing, to carry out the attack. She confronted one of her teachers, Fiona Elias, in the school yard and threatened to kill her before attacking her and another teacher, Liz Hopkin. Hopkin sustained more serious injuries and had to be airlifted for treatment.
The court was also shown a notebook found at the girl's home, containing disturbing drawings and references to the victims. One drawing was labelled "Mrs Frogface Elias". The girl has since admitted to attacking all three victims and has pleaded guilty to three counts of wounding with intent and one count of possessing a bladed article on school premises. However, she denies three counts of attempted murder.
The prosecution highlighted that the girl had shown ill feelings towards Elias, as seen in her drawings and statements. Hopkin was the most severely injured, with stab wounds to her knee, lower leg, chest, and under her shoulder blade. She had to be flown to Cardiff for treatment. Elias and the other student were also taken to the hospital for their injuries.
The trial was adjourned and will resume on Wednesday as the jury considers whether the girl intended to kill her victims or not. The shocking incident has left the school community reeling and raises questions about the mental state of the teenage girl.
