Will Cornick, then 15, who was 6ft 2in at the time of the attack, pulled out a 34cm blade and plunged it into the neck and back of his 5ft 2in Spanish teacher Ann Maguire, 61, after their lesson had ended at Corpus Christi Catholic Colleage in Leeds on April 28, 2014
Will Cornick was 15 when he murdered teacher Ann Maguire, 61, at Corpus Christi School in Leeds on April 28, 2014. He used a large kitchen knife to stab her repeatedly in the back after developing an inexplicable grudge against her. On November 3, 2014, the 16-year-old was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum tariff of 20 years after pleading guilty to Mrs Maguire s murder. He was publicly named and pictured after the judge at Leeds Crown Court lifted an order banning his identification.
