Murder accused denies re-enacting sword attacks
Briefly

Marcus Monzo, accused of murdering 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin in a series of sword attacks, denies re-enacting violence at Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital. Monzo's trial at the Old Bailey revealed he allegedly mimicked stabbing motions while conversing with hospital staff, which he attributed to a discussion about horror films he denied enjoying. Instead, he expressed a preference for action movies, and he could not recall the violent events of April 30, 2024. His beliefs were influenced by experiences with hallucinogenic substances, leading to views on conspiracy theories and a disillusionment with the world.
Under cross-examination, defendant Marcus Monzo denied engaging in violent re-enactment while at Broadmoor, asserting he does not recall the attacks he is accused of.
Monzo's claims during testimony included belief in conspiracy theories and a non-fondness for horror films, claiming instead a preference for action movies.
