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.

Police found AI videos on the 16-year-old's phone showing serial killers Ted Bundy and Edmund Kemper dancing together. He captioned a montage of fictional killer Paul Spector from 'The Fall' with 'Me btw'. A jury at King's Lynn Crown Court found him guilty of attempted murder over the March attack at Thorpe St Andrew School. A kitchen knife had gone missing from his home four months earlier.

His notebook gave his motive as 'misanthropy, misogyny, suicide, bullying'.

He researched school shootings and police response times before the attack.
