A mentally-disturbed knifeman, who stabbed a teenage schoolboy through the heart and injured three other pupils, has been detained for life.
Paranoid Schizophrenic Serif Aslan, 34, (pic.bottom) of Phillip Lane, South Tottenham launched the bloody attack after being caught leering at a young girl pupil at the school gates.
He was convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering Kasey Gordon, 15, (pic.top) and inflicting grievous bodily harm on a 14 year-old and 16 year-old and causing actual bodily harm to a 14 year-old.
Aslan had not taken his anti-psychotic medication for a week and had hidden the knife in the room he occupied at a residential home.
He will be detained under the Mental Health Act for a minimum of twenty years and was taken to a top-security mental hospital after sentencing.
Detective Inspector Leon James of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: “This is a tragic incident which led to the death of fifteen year-old Kasey Gordon and three other schoolboys receiving injuries.
“I am pleased with today’s sentencing. In some small way we hope that this will help to bring some closure to Kasey’s family and friends.”
Kasey was fatally stabbed just before 3.45pm on January 20, last year in West Green Road, South Tottenham.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and a post mortem confirmed the cause as a single stab wound.
The other three boys were rushed to hospital and the 16 year-old needed emergency treatment for a collapsed lung caused by a stab wound to the chest.
One of the fourteen year-olds had been stabbed in the hip and the other received a minor facial injury.
