Girl, 14, to be detained for 15 years
Bristol Post
|April 29, 2025
A 14-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl who showed no remorse for the attempted murder of two teachers and a fellow pupil has threatened others while in detention, a court has heard.
-
The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, armed herself with her father's multitool before attacking teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, and a pupil, at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on April 24 last year. Following the attack, she told police officers: “That’s one way to be a celebrity.”
Judge Paul Thomas KC sentenced her to 15 years’ detention at Swansea Crown Court yesterday for attempted murder, half of which is to be spent on remand. Throughout the hearing, the girl appeared to show no emotions, often sketching or making notes.
