Thorpe St Andrew School near Norwich, where a 16-year-old boy went on 11 March "not to learn, but to kill," stabbing a 15-year-old girl in an attack a jury has now found him guilty of attempted murder.

The 16-year-old went to Thorpe St Andrew School near Norwich on 11 March 'not to learn, but to kill', prosecutor Christopher Paxton KC told King's Lynn Crown Court. A note pinned above his bed gave his motive as 'misanthropy, misogyny, suicide, bullying'. Police also found a handwritten list of names titled 'Victims?'. Mr Justice Lickley will sentence him on 18 December.

He captioned a video of The Fall killer Paul Spector 'me btw'.

His pre-attack note boasted: 'I would be very proud of five.'

The stabbed girl told a teacher 'Sir, I've been stabbed', then was later discharged from hospital.
