A 17-year-old boy sentenced to life for attacking two sleeping students and a teacher with hammers at a private school can be named after a judge lifted restrictions on publishing his identity.
Thomas Wei Huang was armed with three claw hammers and waited for the two boys to be asleep before attacking them at Blundell’s school in Devon, Exeter crown court previously heard.
He was wearing only his boxer shorts and used weapons he had collected to prepare for a “zombie apocalypse”, the court was told.
After sentencing Huang on 18 October to a minimum term of 12 years for attempted murder, Mrs Justice Cutts has now lifted restrictions on reporting of his name.
