The court heard that the defendant, who was 16 at the time of the attack, launched a violent assault on the night of June 9 the previous year. Armed with three claw hammers, he reportedly targeted two sleeping students, ages 16 and 15, brutally smashing their skulls. The victims sustained life-threatening injuries and are expected to endure lasting repercussions, including permanent cognitive impairment.
