A 14-year-old girl accused of the attempted murder of two teachers and a pupil during a school knife attack in Ammanford has told a court she "can’t remember" why she carried out the stabbings.
In her defence, the girl took to the witness box and said she would be bullied "three or four" times a week in the Ammanford school and as a result felt "anxious and scared all the time".
BBC Wales Education and Family correspondent Bethan Lewis said though the Ammanford stabbing verdict came on the same day a boy in Sheffield was stabbed at school, these incidents are "very rare".
