Teenager Accused of Stabbing Two Teachers and a Student at Welsh School

The 14-year-old admitted to wounding with intent but denied attempted murder in the April 2024 attack at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman.

  • The incident occurred after the teenager was confronted by a teacher about her non-uniform trousers at the Ammanford school.
  • Assistant head teacher Fiona Elias was the first victim, with the girl allegedly shouting threats before stabbing her multiple times.
  • Another teacher, Liz Hopkin, sustained severe injuries while trying to intervene and had to be airlifted for medical treatment.
  • The teenager also injured a fellow student before being restrained by school staff and arrested by police.
  • Evidence presented in court included notes and drawings found at the girl's home, which prosecutors argued indicated premeditation, though the defendant denies intending to kill.
