The masked attacker's notebook read: 'I want at least 2 maybe 3. I'd be very proud of 5.' Another entry named Thorpe St Andrew School as his target and listed his motives as 'misogyny' and 'misanthropy'. Police found he had researched school shootings, police response times and incel figure Elliot Rodger. The boy, now 16, was found guilty at King's Lynn Crown Court and cannot be named.

A kitchen knife vanished from his family home four months before the March attack.

His mother told jurors the night before the stabbing was 'completely normal'.
