A schoolboy has been found guilty of viciously attacking two sleeping students and a teacher with hammers at a public school in Devon as he prepared for a "zombie apocalypse". The 16-year-old boy, who attended Blundells School in Tiverton, Devon, was found guilty of attempted murder at Exeter Crown Court on Friday.

However, after 40 hours of deliberations, the jury instead chose to find the schoolboy guilty of three counts of attempted murder. Trial judge Mrs Justice Cutts said she would adjourn sentencing for the preparation of pre-sentence reports, including a psychiatric report, and would pass sentence on October 18."I don't intend to sentence today, further reports are needed," she said."I would wish a psychiatric report. That needs to be a court-ordered report.
