A 'racist' 14-year-old schoolboy who stabbed his
teacher in the stomach because he didn't like
being disciplined by a black man has been jailed
for 11 years.
The teenager, of Pakistani origin, admitted a
charge of causing grievous bodily harm against
Vincent Uzomah at Dixons Kings Academy in
Bradford.
The boy was described by others as "disruptive
and a bully" and had taken a dislike to Mr
Uzomah in the seven weeks he had worked at
the school.
Prosecutor said the boy told a friend the
previous day that he was planning to stab a
teacher and took a knife with a "substantial
blade" into school on June 11, discussing his
plans with other pupils.
He stabbed Mr Uzomah after a row over his
mobile phone, the court was told
He said:
"He approached Mr Uzomah and reached
into his pocket but at that point he took
out the knife and stabbed Mr Uzomah in
the stomach.Mr Uzomah thought he was
going to die."]The teen later boasted of
what he had done on Facebook writing:
"the m*****f****r getin funny so I stick
the blade straight in his tummy."
In a victim impact statement, Mr Uzomah said
he found it "hard to understand" why others
had 'liked' this Facebook status.
Sentencing the boy, Judge Durham Hall said the
boastful Facebook comments following the
stabbing were "sick."
The 69 'likes' attributed to the status,
were "an appalling reflection of a small
microcosm of our society", the judge
added.
Mr Uzomah said the stabbing "has left
psychological scars on my life and the life of my
family".
