Suspect in London sword attack appears in court on murder charge in death of teenage boy
LONDON (AP) — A man accused of brandishing a sword in a rampage in London that killed a teenage boy, severely injured two police officers and wounded two men appeared in court Thursday to face charges of murder and attempted murder.
Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, who has dual Spanish and Brazilian citizenship, is charged with murder in the death of Daniel Anjorin, 14, who was slain as he walked to school Tuesday morning in a northeast London suburb.
Prosecutor David Burns said Monzo crashed his van in Hainault before 7 a.m. Tuesday, striking a man. He then got out of the van and told the man he would kill him before cutting his neck.
He then broke into a home nearby, where a couple was asleep with their 4-year-old daughter. He shouted about believing in God and attacked the girl’s father, wounding his neck and arm.
Monzo then ambushed Anjorin, slashing his neck and stabbing him in the chest as he lay on the ground.
