More details are coming out about the 36-year-old man who went on a stabbing spree with a sword in Hainault, northeast London, just before 7am on Tuesday morning, severely wounding four people and killing a 14-year-old boy who was on his way to school.
Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, who is a dual Spanish and Brazilian national, has appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today after being charged with the murder of Daniel Anjorin.
Monzo has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of GBH, aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article.
His horror spree began after he crashed his van into a fence in Laing Close, before getting out and attacking two random members of the public with a sword. He told one of the men he attacked that he would kill him, and then slashed his neck with a sword.
15 minutes later, Monzo broke into a nearby home where a couple were asleep with their four-year-old daughter. He went into the bedroom and attacked the child’s father while screaming about believing in God, leaving the man with injuries to his neck and arm.
Monzo then ran up behind Daniel Anjorin, 14, who was walking to school, and slashed his neck, before stabbing him in the chest as he lay on the ground. He then attacked two police officers who tried to stop him, one of whom nearly lost her hand.
Internet detectives have since found that Monzo went by the name FreekingMark on social media, where he had Liked tweets from Andrew Tate, Giga Based Chad, David Icke, and a bunch of illuminati and occult accounts. He also appeared to be a Flat Earther and, naturally, not a fan of the COVID vaccine.
Over on Instagram, he’d shared 3 posts – one of him on a punching bag in the gym, one where he’s showing off his medals after a BJJ competition, and another doing a spot of archery while dressed as Robin Hood.
So that’s all we know about this scumbag, who will no doubt be spending the rest of his life in prison. That will be little consolation to the family of Daniel Anjorin, who by all accounts was a brilliant lad who was really good at football and also a big Arsenal fan.
Daniel attended Bancroft’s school in Woodford Green, who released this statement earlier:
‘We are devastated by the heartbreaking news of the death of Daniel Anjorin, who attended our school. This has left us in profound shock and sorrow.
‘Daniel joined Bancroft’s at seven years old and quickly became a core member of our community.
‘He was a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits.
‘His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us.’
RIP Daniel and thoughts with his friends and family, and a speedy recovery to the rest of Monzo’s victims.
