A 14-year-old schoolgirl who stabbed two teachers and a pupil with a multitool has been sentenced to 15 years in detention.

Witnesses said the girl yelled ‘I’m going to f****** kill you’ as she pulled out a knife and attacked teachers Fiona Elias and Liz Hopkins and a pupil in April last year.

The teen, who was 13 at the time and who cannot be named for legal reasons, was previously found guilty of attempted murder after she attacked them at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire.

Ms Hopkin was the worst injured, with stab wounds to her neck, knee, lower leg, chest and under her shoulder blade, prosecutors William Hughes KS previously said.

She had told friends she was going to ‘do something stupid that could get me expelled,’ which could involve Mrs Elias just moments before the attack , the jury heard.

The unsolicited comments she made immediately after the attack reveal her desperate attempts to seek fame.

The girl is said to have told at the back of a police van ‘I stabbed her – oopsies.’

She also said: ‘I’m pretty sure this is going to be on the news, so more eyes will be looking at me.

‘That’s one way to be a celebrity.’

The girl had also asked ‘are they dead’ and ‘how am I going to face my family after what I’ve done?’ the jury heard during the week-long trial.

Shocking CCTV footage showed how Ms Hopking tried to intervene to stop the mindless attack, but she was badly injured.

Other staff then tried to restrain her, but she ran off with the multitool she had taken from her dad and stabbed another girl.

Video previously shown in court revealed the moments before and after the attack, with the girl seen scuffling with the teachers prior to the stabbing.

She can be seen walking into a school hall where she sat behind a curtain for around half an hour.

A chilling clip shows her stabbing the blade into the floor.

Her movements included talking to Ms Elias in the corridor before she returned to the hall and showed the knife to other children.

She then shared a can of drink with a boy before walking outside following in Ms Elias’s footsteps.

The girl was seen talking to the teachers with her hands in her pockets for around two minutes before she pulled the knife out and launched the attack.
