Today’s true crime case looks at the muder of Ann Maguire who, at 11:30am on 28 April 2014, was teaching a Spanish Class at Corpus Christi Catholic College in the city of Leeds, a school she had devoted the last 40 years of her life to and from where she was due to retire in a few months. Without warning she was attacked by one of her pupils, 15 year old William Cornick who stabbed her to death in front of a horrified class of children plunging an 8 inch knife into her neck and back again and again and again. She managed to run from the classroom pursued by Cornick and was shielded from further attack by another teacher but she soon died from her injuries. After the attack Cornick sat down next to his classmates as if nothing had happened and said “good times” before talking about experiencing an adrenaline rush. This was not some random act of violence, Cornick had been planning this murder for months and he claimed that he intended to kill 2 others teachers including one that was pregnant. What had Ann done to deserve such a horrific death, absolutely nothing, Cornick was fuelled by irrational hatred which had been building over a number of years, directed towards a woman who was loved by her family, friends, staff and pupils. A few weeks before the attack he wrote on line stating that Ann “deserves more than death, more than pain, torture and more than anything that we can understand.” Cornick was extremely proud of what he had done and was assessed in court as an extremely dangerous child with no remorse or empathy for others.
