Marcus Arduini Monzo, 37, had gone into a cannabis-induced psychosis when he killed 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword, the Old Bailey heard.

Witnesses described the former Amazon delivery driver screaming “in delight” after lethally wounding Daniel, who had been walking to school in his PE kit. Five more people were injured during the rampage.

Prosecutor Tom Little KC told jurors it was “miraculous” that more people weren't killed as Monzo slashed and chopped at whoever he came across for 20 minutes.

He had killed and skinned his pet cat Wizard before running riot in Hainault, North East London, on April 30 last year.

As well as killing Daniel, Monzo also attacked a pedestrian, two police officers and a couple in their own home before he was arrested.
