A 16-year-old boy has recently appeared in court accused of attempted murder after an incident at Blundell’s School in Tiverton.
The boy stands accused of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm with intent, following a distressing incident that took place at Blundell’s School in Tiverton.
The alleged assaults occurred on June 9, involving two youths, whose identities are also legally protected, and a school worker named Henry Roffe-Silvester.
During the court hearing, conducted via video link from a young offender’s institute, the boy was attired in a light grey T-shirt. He spoke only to confirm his name and express his comprehension of the proceedings.
