Marcus Monzo, 37, faces murder charges for the death of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin and attempted murder of others in a violent attack in Hainault, London. CCTV footage revealed Monzo hitting a pedestrian with his van before exiting with a sword, threatening to kill witnesses. During the trial, a victim described his injuries and Monzo's chilling smile during the assault. The prosecution argues Monzo's actions were deliberate, despite his claims of being under the influence of drugs, questioning his mental state and responsibility for the violent acts.
Jurors watching the footage saw a grey van hit a pedestrian before its driver, Marcus Monzo, exited the vehicle wielding a sword, allegedly threatening to kill.
Victim Donato Iwule recounted his experience in court, detailing how he attempted to escape and defend himself as Monzo swung the sword, leading to critical injuries.
Witnesses described a shocking scene, where after the attack, Monzo reportedly smiled, suggesting a disturbing detachment from the violent act he had just committed.
The court learned that Monzo had previously engaged in disturbing behavior, including the skinning of his own cat, raising questions about his mental state at the time.
