A boy was almost decapitated as he headed to school when he was attacked with a Samurai sword, a court has heard.

Daniel Anjorin was wearing headphones when he left his home in Hainault, north London, and was allegedly set upon by Marcus Monzo, who is on trial at the Old Bailey.

Daniel suffered ‘devastating and unsurvivable’ injuries last April during a 20-minute string of indiscriminate attacks.
