HAINAULT, EAST LONDON, JUN 28 – Marcus Monzo was sentenced to life with a minimum of 38 years after a 20-minute rampage injuring seven people and killing a 14-year-old, driven by cannabis-induced psychosis, court heard.
- On April 30 last year in Hainault, east London, 37-year-old Marcus Monzo went on a violent 20-minute spree that ended with the fatal stabbing of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin.
- Monzo's prior convictions included sexual assaults and attempted murder, and he became psychotic after taking cannabis before the violent attacks.
