Carmarthenshire, Ocotber 7: In a shocking incident at Amman Valley School in Wales' Carmarthenshire, a 14-year-old girl allegedly attacked two teachers and a fellow student with a fishing knife after being confronted for wearing non-school uniform trousers. The teenager claimed she woke up in a bad mood on the day of the attack, attributing her emotional state to her "periods". In a moment of anger, she pulled out her father's fishing knife, which she had smuggled into school, and threatened, “I’m going to f***ing kill you” before launching the assault.

The disturbing events unfolded on April 24, 2023, when the girl confronted Deputy Head Fiona Elias and Special Needs Teacher Liz Hopkins regarding her attire. During the confrontation, she displayed an aggressive demeanour, leading to her decision to use the knife she had concealed in her school bag. Reports from The Mirror indicate that the girl had a history of carrying knives, having been previously caught with a vegetable knife six months prior, which resulted in a suspension.  UK Shocker: Man in Anglesey Admits Possessing Extreme Porn Videos of Sex Acts on Tortoise, Police To Register Him as Sex Offender.
