A man on trial for attempted murder is accused of stabbing a teenager on a train in London while appearing to believe the boy was the devil, according to court reports. Anthony Williams, facing a Cambridge Crown Court attempted murder case, is accused in connection with attacks involving trains in London.
The outlets say the teenager was 17 years old and describe the alleged mindset presented to the court. Coverage also links the case to wider allegations against Williams. The Mirror reports additional attempted murder allegations on the same general day involving multiple people and a separate train journey.
While all reports focus on the court being told the attacker appeared fixated on the teenage victim, details such as the specific train services and the broader scope of what Williams is alleged to have attempted vary by outlet’s emphasis. Sky News and the Manchester Evening News concentrate on the “devil” belief and the teenage victim, while The Mirror additionally frames the matter as involving attempted murder claims against multiple people.
