The girl admits stabbing two teachers and another girl with a fishing tool at a school in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, but denies attempting to murder them. A 13-year-old girl shouted “I’m going to f****** kill you” as she stabbed two teachers and another teenager at a Welsh secondary school, a court heard.

The girl, who was a pupil at the school, later said “I stabbed her, oopsies” and “that’s one way to be a celebrity” in comments to police after her arrest. Jurors at Swansea Crown Court were shown CCTV of the attack on two teachers at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, also known as Amman Valley School, in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, on 24 April last year.
School staff could be seen trying to talk her down after she stabbed assistant head Fiona Elias multiple times with a fishing multitool, before turning on Liz Hopkin when she tried to intervene – stabbing her in her in the back, neck, legs and arms.
When she pulled the blade from her pocket she shouted “I am going to kill you, I am going to f****** kill you,” the court heard. The girl managed to injured another teenager before she was disarmed and police arrived, prosecutor William Hughes KC told the jury.
The defendant, who is now aged 14 and cannot be named for legal reasons, has admitted to three counts of wounding with intent, but denies attempting to murder the three victims. Opening the trial on Monday, Mr Hughes told the jury the teenager had taken the multitool knife from her father’s fishing equipment intending to use it on staff.
