Overview
- British Transport Police announced seven additional counts against Anthony Williams, including the attempted murder of a 14-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man in Peterborough.
- Further allegations cover attempted wounding with intent, theft of knives from an Asda in Stevenage, affray and possession of a bladed article at Ritzy Barbers, and a common assault on a train between Hitchin and Biggleswade.
- The new charges follow a wider inquiry into a sequence of alleged offences on October 31 and the morning of November 1 that investigators say preceded the Huntingdon train attack.
- Williams was remanded in custody after a magistrates’ hearing on November 19, with related Crown Court hearings listed for early and mid December as prosecutors seek to join the matters.
- The Crown Prosecution Service said there is sufficient evidence to proceed, and LNER crew member Samir Zitouni, who was seriously injured during the train attack, has been discharged to recover at home.
