A teenager has gone on trial accused of attempting to murder two boys and a housemaster at Blundell’s School in Devon
James Dawes KC, prosecuting, said the two boys were asleep in cabin-style beds in one of the co-ed school’s boarding houses when the defendant climbed up and attacked them shortly before 1am on June 9 last year. “He had four of them and he selected more than one hammer and he quietly climbed up into the top of the first cabin bed.
Another student heard Mr Roffe-Silvester’s shouts and swearing as he fled the bedroom and dialled 999 – believing there was an intruder. Mr Dawes said the defendant told the student he had fallen asleep after watching a movie and then carried out the attack.
