London: A Spanish-Brazilian national was remanded in custody on Thursday by a London magistrates' court on murder and other charges, following a sword attack in the city which killed a 14-year-old boy.
Marcus Arduini Monzo is accused of a violent rampage in a northeastern suburb of the British capital on Tuesday using a Samurai-type sword which left teenager Daniel Anjorin dead and wounded four others.
Monzo, 36, allegedly attacked Anjorin while the teen walked to school, in a crime that has caused shock in the nation.
He is also accused of seriously injuring two police officers, both of whom required surgery and remain in hospital.
One, a woman, suffered severe injuries to her arm and nearly lost a hand, London's Metropolitan Police said.
