Mother told court she ‘relives the moment over and over’ when she thought her daughter was being killed in front of her

A man who “furiously and repeatedly” stabbed an 11-year-old Australian girl in a random knife attack in London’s Leicester Square has been detained indefinitely.

The child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told police she thought she was going to die after she was targeted by Ioan Pintaru in the city’s West End on the morning of August 12 last year while on holiday with her mother.
