A 16-year-old schoolboy who stabbed a teacher in the head at his school in Pembrokeshire after asking her to check his homework has been sentenced in court today.
Officers were called to Milford Haven Comprehensive School in south-west Wales in Feburary when a boy attacked teacher Vicki Williams.
The boy has been sentenced to four and a half years’ in youth detention by a judge at Swansea Crown Court.
The incident prompted police to lockdown the school.
Christopher Rees KC told the court previously: "The prosecution say the defendant planned and launched a murderous attack.
"He deliberately stabbed Vicki Williams in the head."
The defendant, who was 15 at the time, was found guilty of wounding with intent after being acquitted by a jury of attempted murder.
Passing sentence, Judge Paul Thomas KC said it was “pure luck” Ms Williams had not been seriously injured or worse.
“I don’t know why you attacked Ms Williams with that knife, you never told anybody why you did it,” the judge said.
“I think it may have been that in some way she had upset you, but I don’t know for certain why.
“What I do know for certain is that you took a knife that day to school because you wanted to really hurt her with it.
“You knew what you were going to do was very wrong, but you had planned it in advance."
