A teenage girl has denied charges of attempted murder after a stabbing at a Carmarthenshire school left two teachers and a student injured. The girl, whose identity is protected by law, admitted three charges of wounding with intent and one charge of possessing a blade in school grounds during her appearance at Swansea Crown Court.
The incident happened on April 24 at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries to teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, as well as a student. Dyfed-Powys Police responded to the situation and locked down the school, which has approximately 1,500 students aged 11 to 18. The school remained closed the following day to facilitate investigations.
Director James Durbridge assured that support would be provided to those affected by the incident in the following days. During the brief court hearing, the defendant confirmed her identity and entered her pleas to each charge. Legal representatives Caroline Rees and Helen Randall were present for the accused and the prosecution respectively.
After the pleas, prosecutors requested a mistrial on the remaining charges. The trial will begin on September 30, with an expected duration of two weeks.
