Leeds Crown Court heard he sent a Facebook message weeks before the killing, which said of Mrs Maguire: The teenager stabbed Mrs Maguire as she taught a class at Corpus Christi Catholic College, in Leeds, in April, 2014, when he was 15.
‘The
one absolute fucking bitch that deserves more than death, more than pain and
more than anything that we can understand.
During psychiatric
evaluation, he said
'I
wasn't in shock, I was happy. I had a sense of pride. I still do'I decided on
Sunday it was going to be a knife. I thought I was just going to go to school
and wait for her lesson and do it. I wanted to get caught. That's why I did it
in school. I wanted to be in jail.’
I know it's uncivilised but I know it's
incredibly instinctual and human. Past generations of life, killing is a route
of survival. It's kill or be killed. I did not have a choice. It was kill her
or suicide. ‘I know the victim's family will be upset but I don't care. In my
eyes, everything I've done is fine and dandy.’
According to Mailonline, he
had brought a bottle of whisky to school to celebrate after the attack, and had
winked at a fellow pupil before starting to stab Mrs Maguire.
The prosecutor said Mr
Greaney said:
‘Mrs Maguire was at her
desk helping pupils. She was leaning over, looking at the work of a girl.The
defendant approached his teacher and began to stab her in the neck and back. He
attacked her from behind.
Ann Maguire was 61 years of age, 5ft 2in in height
and of slim build.The defendant was a full foot taller and was armed with a
large kitchen knife. To describe his attack as cowardly hardly does it
justice.’ Mrs Maguire fled but she was chased by the boy ‘stabbing her as she
sought to escape’.
Mrs Maguire ran towards her
feiend Mrs Francis,holding her neck and saying: ‘He's stabbed me in the neck.’.
Mrs Francis pushed her friend into a work room and held her foot against the
door to keep the boy out.She was able to see (the boy) through a glass panel in
the door. His face was emotionless and he then walked away.’He sat down
beside... as if nothing had happened and said that he had stabbed Mrs Maguire.
He added that it was a pity she was not dead. He said to the entire class
"good times" and spoke of an adrenalin rush.
Undoubtedly, one of the most
disturbing aspects of an extremely disturbing case is that (the boy) not only
lacks remorse but is proud of what he did in killing Mrs Maguire, who he at one
stage described to (a psychiatrist) as barely human.’
‘That his anger and hatred
in fact became focused upon a person as decent and loved as Ann Maguire only
makes this case the more tragic and goes to explain the outpouring of grief
that there has been within the school and within the community.’
The boy was said to have
had a good family background with 'decent and responsible parents'
Mr Justice Coulson - who
said the boy may never be released - said he showed a 'chilling lack of
remorse' over the attack.
He set the 20-year tariff -
the minimum time the boy must serve in custody before he is released - but
added that, after reading about him, 'it's quite possible that day may never
come'.
The boy cannot be named for
legal reasons
