During a police interview, assistant headteacher Fiona Elias recounted the chilling moment the 13-year-old girl approached her, describing her sinister demeanor and menacing gaze. Elias recalled the girl asking, 'Do you want to see what's in my pocket?' before revealing a silver-bladed multi-tool. The attack was sudden and chaotic, Elias recalled thinking, 'I'm going to die.' The sheer surprise of the assault caught her off guard, and she felt an overwhelming sense of dread as she was stabbed repeatedly.
Colleague Liz Hopkin bravely intervened during the attack, remembering the horror of being stabbed in her neck. As she tried to protect Elias, she described feeling the blood pooling around her and thought, 'This is it.' Hopkin's account highlighted the intense fear as they struggled, with the girl’s violent outbursts ringing in their ears. Hopkin noted the girl's unblinking stare prior to the stabbing, intensifying the surreal and frightening nature of the situation. Both teachers believed their lives were genuinely at risk.
