The Guardian
|October 19, 2024
A teenager who attacked two sleeping pupils and a teacher with hammers at a private school in Devon has been given a life sentence and must serve a minimum term of 12 years, after being found guilty of attempted murder.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was armed with three claw hammers and waited for the two boys to fall asleep before attacking them at Blundell's boarding school in Tiverton, Exeter crown court heard.
He was wearing just his boxer shorts and used weapons he had collected to prepare for a "zombie apocalypse", the court was told.
The boy, who was 16 at the time of the attacks, admitted assaulting the two boys and a housemaster but claimed he had been sleepwalking.
