US EditionMan Charged with Murder and Named After Sword Attack in London Killed 14-Year-Old-Boy
- Marcus Arduini Monzo, 37, is being tried at the Old Bailey for the murder of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, who was attacked during a 20-minute violent episode in the Hainault area of north-east London in late April of the previous year.
- The prosecution attributes Monzo's actions to self-induced cannabis intoxication causing an abnormality in mental functioning but states he is fit to plea and rejects insanity defence.
- Monzo ambushed Daniel, who was walking to school wearing headphones, fatally striking him with a 60cm sword in a near-decapitation wound and attacked several others in nearby homes.
- Prosecutor Tom Little KC said the attacks were informed by Monzo’s delusional belief of mortal danger for his family and described Daniel's injuries as 'devastating and unsurvivable.'
- Monzo denies all charges including murder and multiple attempted murders, and the case highlights questions of his mental state and intent during the violent rampage.
