A man has been found guilty of murdering a 14-year-old boy during a samurai sword rampage in north-east London.

Marcus Arduini Monzo stabbed Daniel Anjorin during a 20-minute spree on April 30 last year in which Monzo targeted members of the public and police officers.

A jury also convicted him of three counts of attempted murder, wounding with intent, aggravated burglary, and possessing a bladed article.

He was cleared of one count of attempted murder but found guilty of the lesser offence of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

14-year-old Daniel Anjorin was killed in a sword attack in Hainault on TuesdayPA

The 37-year-old had previously admitted carrying two samurai swords but denied all other charges.

Witnesses described the former Amazon delivery driver screaming “in delight” and smiling after the fatal attack.

Prosecutor Tom Little KC told jurors it was “miraculous” that more people weren’t killed during Monzo's rampage, where he also attacked two police officers, a pedestrian and a couple in their own home before he was arrested by police.

The attacker claimed that he had no memory of what happened, claiming his mental state had diminished his responsibility for the crimes.
