Boosted police presence for triple stabbing school

An increased police presence will be offered at a school where two teachers and a pupil were stabbed.

A meeting between leaders at Ysgol Dyffryn Aman and Dyfed-Powys Police will be held in June after the triple stabbing at the Carmarthenshire school last month.

Police and crime commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said he would work with schools to ensure a police presence when required, but said it was a "fine line" as he did not want young people to be "over criminalised".

A 13-year-old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder and possessing a bladed article and will appear in Swansea Crown Court on 27 May.

Teachers Fiona Elias, Liz Hopkin and a pupil were injured in the attack on 24 April.

Mr Llywelyn said "there had been a lot of learning" from the incident about how the school and emergency services responded.

He also pledged that Dyfed-Powys Police will continue to have a schools programme in the future.
