A 15-year-old girl was stabbed at Thorpe St Andrew School near Norwich on March 11. During a police interview shortly after the incident, she described feeling numb and seeing blood all over her hands. The attacker, now 16, is charged with attempted murder but has admitted to wounding with intent and possessing a kitchen knife without lawful authority. Notes found in the defendant’s bedroom suggest he had negative feelings towards women, though he denied being an incel or misogynist in his writings.

Story summary
A 15-year-old boy allegedly stabbed a girl in the back at Thorpe St Andrew School near Norwich, Norfolk, after writing notes expressing his "hatred of women" and developing an interest in killers. The incident was captured on CCTV showing him wearing a mask and attacking the victim with a kitchen knife while she was defenseless. Prosecutors claim the attack was premeditated and that the boy intended to kill; however, the girl required only stitches for her wound and was discharged from hospital the next day. The boy has since admitted possessing a dangerous weapon without lawful authority but denies attempted murder charges. In court, the victim described feeling "panic mode" during the attack, experiencing numbness and weakness as she felt blood on her hands, necessitating police intervention to treat her injury.
