Stabbing accused prepared ‘kill list’

-

A 14-YEAR-OLD girl obsessed with serial killers prepared a “kill list” including the names of her friends, mother and brother before she attempted to murder her best friend by stabbing her at school, a court heard.

A jury was told the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, lured her friend to a quiet part of the grounds where she said she was going to give her a present.

But James Newton-Price, QC, prosecutin­g, told Winchester Crown Court that the defendant got her friend alone and then asked her to close her eyes and hold out her hand before she pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed her in the chest.

The defendant, who is now aged 15, denies charges of attempted murder and wounding with intent.
