A teenager who went on to stab two teachers and a fellow pupil wrote in her notebook questioning why she wanted to kill others, a court has heard.

Swansea Crown Court was shown pictures taken of a notebook found at the home of a 14-year-old girl who attacked teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkin, and a student, at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman, also known as Amman Valley School, in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire in April.

On the fourth day of the trial, the jury heard the pages featured drawings referencing one of the teachers and the teenager she attacked in the school.

The 14-year-old girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, previously admitted wounding with intent and possession of a bladed article on school premises.

However, she denies attempted murder in the incident on April 24, when she was 13.

The jury also watched CCTV released by the Crown Prosecution Service from the day of the incident and were given a detailed breakdown of the pupil’s movements.
