Teen sword victim attacked from behind, court is told

Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, is also accused of attacking four others, including two police officers, during a 20-minute rampage in Hainault, northeast London, last Tuesday.

The court heard that the attack unfolded shortly before 7am, after Monzo allegedly crashed a van into a fence in Laing Close, hitting a member of the public. The court was told that he then got out of the van, said that he would kill the man and slashed him in the neck.

Shortly afterwards, he is accused of attacking 14-year-old Daniel Anjourin from behind, causing fatal injuries after slashing him in the neck. A post-mortem examination found the cause of death was “sharp force trauma to the head”.
