In a tragic incident in Hainault, east London, 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin was murdered in an unprovoked attack by 37-year-old Marcus Arduini Monzo, who was under the influence of cannabis and suffering from psychosis. The attack, which occurred while Daniel was on his way to school, left him fatally injured and wounded five others. Monzo was sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison, with the judge condemning the devastation caused to the peaceful community. Daniel's father described the heartbreaking moment he discovered his son's body, highlighting the profound loss that ensued.
I ran outside of the house and just across the road I saw a hunched-up body by the side on the road, he recalled in a victim personal statement.
The peaceful, busy scene as people left for work and school...was devastated by his actions after he arrived in a clearly psychotic state.
Members of the public were attacked, police officers were gravely injured, a couple were terrified in their own home, and a clever, talented, much-loved young boy was killed.
I did not realise that it was Daniel at first, but as I got closer, I recognised the school sports clothes and saw his face.
