Boy, 15, ADMITS stabbing maths teacher in school corridor after telling classmates he wanted to ‘live life of crime’

A TEEN who told classmates he wanted to "live a life of crime" before he stabbed a maths teacher in the school corridor has admitted GBH.
Jamie Sansom suffered a single knife wound during the horror at Tewkesbury Academy in Gloucestershire in July.
A 15-year-old boy today admitted grievous bodily harm with intent, which carries a life sentence, at Bristol Magistrates’ Court.
He previously admitted possession of a bladed article on school premises.
The court was previously told how comments had been made by the boy in his classroom to the effect that he wanted to live a life of crime by perhaps robbing a bank or even killing someone.
The horror unfolded on July 10 as the school was plunged into lockdown.
Terrified pupils told how teachers barricaded them inside classrooms as an alarm blared out.
One hero teacher dragged a wardrobe across the door and told all the children to hide at the back of the classroom.
Two other institutions nearby were also asked to shut their doors as a "precaution".
Maths teacher Jamie was rushed to hospital but has since been discharged and is "recovering well".

He later said in a statement: "On police advice, I can't comment in detail about what happened, but I do want to address some misinformation which has been circulating in coverage of yesterday's incident.
"It is simply not true to say that I was intervening in a fight between students.
"In my view, there was no point at which Tewkesbury students faced any direct threat.
"I am pleased to say that I am recovering well. I was well looked after at Gloucester Royal, and by the police, and I'm grateful for that.
"My thanks to everyone who helped put me on the road to what is expected to be a full recovery."
