Schoolboy who stabbed his teacher in the head not guilty of attempted murder
Jurors are weighing prosecution claims of a planned attack and defense claims of an accidental injury after a teacher was stabbed with a kitchen knife.
- A 16-year-old student at Milford Haven Comprehensive School stabbed history teacher Vicki Williams in the head with a kitchen knife in February but was found not guilty of attempted murder and convicted of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
- The student admitted to carrying the knife on school premises and claimed the stabbing was accidental during a struggle when the teacher tried to take the knife from him.
- The prosecution argued the attack was premeditated, citing the student's actions of bringing the knife to school and targeting the teacher alone in her classroom.
- Mrs. Williams described the attack as sustained, during which she feared for her life and received a stabbing wound to the head along with defensive injuries on her hands; she also testified that the student showed hatred.
