After a bloody crime at an English boarding school, the young perpetrator had an explanation. However, the court did not believe him.
A teenager at a boarding school in England allegedly attacked two classmates and a teacher with hammers while sleepwalking, seriously injuring them. But the court in the city of Exeter did not believe the 17-year-old and sentenced him on Friday for attempted murder. The sentence is to be announced on October 18.
The reason given was that the teenager had bought the hammers months earlier and had planned the crime in June 2023. The boy was obsessed with killing children.
The perpetrator, who was 16 years old at the time, admitted to the attack. However, he stated that he was not of sound mind. “I couldn’t remember anything, so my only rational thought was that I was sleepwalking.” He had a corresponding history.
The teenager had attacked his classmates while they were sleeping. They suffered skull fractures, injuries to their ribs and spleen, a ruptured lung and internal bleeding. The perpetrator then attacked the math teacher, who had been woken up by the noise and went to investigate.
Lots of sun and rising temperatures are now the order of the day again. If you drive a lot, you’re probably relying heavily on the air conditioning in your car. Not without reason, as it cools significantly more and faster than leaving the windows open while driving. But you should still be careful.
