Schoolboy, 15, in court accused of attempted murder of teacher in classroom

A 15-year-old boy has been remanded into custody after appearing in court charged with the attempted murder of a teacher at a school in west Wales.

Swansea Magistrates’ Court heard on Saturday that the school pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly attacked the female teacher with a kitchen knife after asking for help with work at Milford Haven Comprehensive School on Thursday afternoon.

Appearing in court, the teenager spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.

He was charged with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, and possession of a bladed article on education premises.

He is alleged to have attacked a female teacher with a kitchen knife while she was going through his work with him in a classroom shortly after 3pm on Thursday.

Magistrates heard the woman was left with injuries to her head, finger and back for which she received treatment in hospital.

The boy’s family were in court to watch proceedings on Saturday.

He was remanded into youth detention over the weekend and will appear at Swansea Crown Court on February 9.
