Life in prison for schoolboys murder
A man who went on a rampage with a Samurai Sword in the UK, has this afternoon (Friday) been jailed for 40 years after he murdered a 14 year old boy in Hainault, North East London last April.
Marcus Arduini Monzo was sentenced to 40 years behind bars for the murder and other offences last April.
The 37 year old former Amazon delivery driver, struck 14 year old Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword as he walked to school on the morning of April 30th last year, causing unsurvivable neck injuries to the child. He also attacked five other people, including two police officers, during his 'drug fuelled' rampage in the North London suburb. Daniel Anjorin. Pic: Metropolitan Police
He was convicted of three counts of attempted murder, wounding with intent, aggravated burglary, and possessing a bladed article.
Prior to the attacks on April 30, he had killed and skinned his pet cat, Wizard, after plunging into a cannabis-induced psychosis, thinking the pet cat was trying to control him.
After the attacks, Monzo, likened the events to the Hollywood film 'The Hunger Games' and claimed to have an alternative persona as a 'professional assassin'. Marcus Arduini Monzo. Pic: Metropolitan Police
Daniel Anjorins father, Dr Ebenezer Anjorin told the court about the hopes they had for their bright, talented son which had been destroyed – 'We will not see him get married or have children. All the normal things parents hope for their children. All these hopes and aspirations have been cruelly snatched away from us through the wicked actions of Marcus Monzo'.
'It has been the worst nightmare experience of our lives. To have to go through the pain of losing a child in such a cruel and savage way. No family should have to go through this.' Metropolitan Police officers attempting to arrest Marcus Arduini Monzo. Pic: Metropolitan Police
Sentencing him to life behind bars today, Mr Justice Bennathan told the court hearing it is possible Monzo will never be set free again.

Police quiz woman who wore ‘concentration camp prisoner' outfit at protest
Images of the protester, whose identity the police have not disclosed, circulated on social media, showing the woman dressed in striped clothes, hat and face mask A woman who wore clothes resembling those of Holocaust concentration camp prisoners at a Palestine Action protest has been questioned by the Metropolitan Police, the force has said. Images of the protester, whose identity the police have not disclosed, circulated on social media, showing the woman dressed in striped clothes, hat and face mask. Yellow symbols depicting the crescent moon and star of Islam were sewn on to the shirt and hat, and the protester held a sign with the hashtag 'We Are All Palestine Action'. A pro-Palestine march in London (John Stillwell/PA) News in 90 Seconds - June 27th The Met Police said in a post on X that the woman was questioned on Friday. 'Images were shared this week showing a woman at protests wearing clothing imitating that worn by those held in concentration camps during the Holocaust,' they said.

Alex Hearn, co-director of Labour Against Antisemitism (LAAS), described the outfit as 'a blatant act of antisemitism' and criticised Met Police officers who oversaw the demonstration for failing to take immediate action. 'This was a blatant act of antisemitism that has caused distress and upset to many people in the Jewish community in Britain,' Mr Hearn said. 'The Holocaust is not a costume. 'We are glad that the police are now taking action but the question remains why police officers at this protest and outside Parliament did not act on the spot.' Mr Hearn added: 'Time and again these so-called protesters display racist hatred and contempt for Jews in front of police officers, but it is only when the Jewish community publicly calls this out and demands action that the police engage.' The Metropolitan Police have declined to answer further questions. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said on Monday that she has decided to proscribe Palestine Action and will lay an order before Parliament next week which, if passed, will make membership and support for the protest group illegal. Belonging to or expressing support for a proscribed organisation, along with a number of other actions, are criminal offences carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. The decision comes after the group posted footage online showing two people inside the base at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The clip shows one person riding an electric scooter up to an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker and appearing to spray paint into its jet engine. On Monday, a march took place in support of Palestine Action in central London, during which clashes between the police and some protesters led to 13 arrests for alleged offences including assaulting an emergency worker, obstructing a constable and breaching Public Order Act conditions, the Metropolitan Police previously said. Palestine Action has staged a series of demonstrations in recent months, including spraying the London offices of Allianz Insurance with red paint over its alleged links to Israeli defence company Elbit, and vandalising US President Donald Trump's Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, Scotland.

Three men stabbed and woman injured in horror knife attack as cops in hazmat suits swarm street & ‘homes evacuated'
THREE men have been stabbed and a woman has been injured in a horror knife attack as police in hazmat suits swarmed the street. Cops scrambled to the scene outside Willesden Green Underground Station in Willesden, northwest London . Advertisement No one has been arrested yet confirmed the force. The nature and severity of the injuries are not yet clear, but police and paramedics descended on the suburban street quickly last night. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "Two 21-year-old men and a 20-year-old man were taken to hospital with stab injuries. We await an update on their condition." The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene. Advertisement Earlier reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade at around 9.00pm, but cops clarified this was not the case. Police confirmed they were called to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line. Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started. Specialist CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) responders were deployed but were later stood down after it was confirmed not to be a chemical incident.
