On the second day of a trial at Swansea Crown Court on Tuesday, the jury heard how the girl had previously been expelled from school after a knife was found in her bag in 2023.The 14-year-old girl admits the triple stabbing, but denies three counts of attempted murder.

In a police interview played to the court, Ms Elias said: "I had to carry out a bag search for something that had happened in the girls' toilets, and I found a knife in [her] bag.The police were called and the girl's father was asked to come in."[She] received an exclusion, I can't remember the amount of days, she was allowed to come back to school and we had permission from her dad to do regular bag checks on her, we didn't do a lot, she settled back in really."

Ms Hopkin was stabbed her in her neck, arms, legs and back.She said she thought the girl was a bit "immature" in class, but there had been no major issues after the suspension, and she did not feel "targeted" by her.

Describing the moments before the attack, she said the girl had been "sinister".

"I was looking at her, she was literally staring at Fiona, she wasn't blinking," she said.Others had declined to speak about what had happened to them.

According to Public Prosecution Service assistant director Catherine Kierans, Hollingsbee was 17 when he began abusing girls online."He pretended to be a younger male and on occasions a female to gain the trust of other younger people," she said.

"He then proceeded to threaten and extort these children to provide him with naked images of themselves."Ms Kierans said 14 young women across the UK were now dealing with the fallout of the case which, like others of its kind, began on social media.
