Teen’s assault of mother, classmates detailed in BU school murder judgment
Court hears how boy pushed his mother to the ground and assaulted two classmates before killing a schoolmate last year.
A forensic psychiatrist's report has detailed the teenager's history of assaulting his mother and two classmates before the murder charge against him was dismissed due to alleged unsoundness of mind. Senior consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Ian Lloyd Anthony revealed that these incidents took place during counseling sessions at his school, which he deemed ineffective.
The boy pushed his mother, causing her to fall and hit her head, and also attacked two classmates, believing they intended to harm him. The report was disclosed in the High Court's grounds of judgment explaining why the teenager was acquitted of the murder charge. The prosecution did not challenge the findings, and the court accepted Anthony's diagnosis of the teenager with schizophrenia with psychopathic and sadistic traits.
