"The defendant and the girl he is accused of attacking are both 15-year-old pupils at Thorpe St Andrew School. The school went into lockdown and armed police were sent to the scene after a number of 999 calls were made on Wednesday. The prosecutor said CCTV of the toilet area shows a male all in black wearing a black mask carrying a carving knife with a lengthy blade."
"The victim had been stabbed to the back. Ms Jones said the defendant fled but was arrested by police nearby. District Judge Matthew Bone put in place reporting restrictions, meaning the identities of the defendant and the girl cannot be published. He remanded the defendant into youth detention accommodation, with his next hearing to be at Norwich Crown Court on April 10."
