A 14-year-old girl has been charged with three counts of attempted murder in relation to a triple stabbing at a high school.
Police were called to the Co-op Academy Manchester on Plant Hill Road, Blackley in Manchester, on Tuesday, June 9, to reports of a stabbing.
Following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service, the teenager was charged on Thursday, June 11 with three counts of attempted murder and two charges of possessing a bladed article on school premises.
She is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Friday, June 12, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Det Chief Supt Jonathan Chadwick, head of counter terrorism policing north west, said: “These are extremely serious charges against a young girl and, working closely with Greater Manchester Police, we continue to support the victims and their families and offer support to the wider school community, who have been deeply affected by what happened.
“Although charges have now been secured, our investigation is still ongoing, and we continue to work with local policing colleagues in the Blackley area.”
