Jury Discharged in Ammanford School Stabbing Trial Due to Irregularities

The trial of a 14-year-old girl accused of attempted murder was halted after the jury was deemed compromised, prompting a retrial set for January.

The trial involved a 14-year-old girl accused of stabbing two teachers and a pupil at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Wales.
The jury at Swansea Crown Court was discharged after the judge identified a 'great irregularity' that compromised proceedings.
The girl had pleaded guilty to wounding with intent but denied the charges of attempted murder.
All three victims, including teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the April incident.
A retrial is scheduled to begin on January 27, 2025, with legal proceedings remaining active and sensitive due to the suspect's age.
