DRUG-CRAZED KILLER IS FOUND GUILTY OF HACKING SCHOOLBOY TO DEATH WITH SAMURAI SWORD AND TRYING TO KILL THREE OTHERS

A drug-crazed killer has been found guilty of decapitating a schoolboy in a 20-minute samurai sword rampage that left four others injured. Marcus Monzo, 37, believed he was an assassin from a Hollywood film when he killed Daniel Anjorin as the boy was walking to school, his trial heard.
High on cannabis which 'led to a psychotic disorder', the Brazilian shouted 'Does anyone believe in God' as he attacked four strangers after 'chopping' Daniel to death in Hainault, East London.
The Old Bailey heard the amateur musician believed he was a character from The Hunger Games, in which contestants fight to the death on a TV show.
A jury has today found him guilty of murder, attempted murder, aggravated burglary by entering a property with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, wounding with intent and having an article with a blade.
Monzo began his rampage around 6.45am on April 30 last year using a van to mow down his first victim, Donald Iwule, who was walking to work when he was hit and catapulted into a nearby garden.
Jurors were shown CCTV of Mr Iwule screaming in agony shouting: 'I don't know you' as Monzo approached on foot wielding the 60cm blade.
The Brazilian replied: 'I don't care, I will kill you' as he swung towards the victim's neck and torso before Mr Iwule managed to escape.
Monzo then encountered schoolboy Daniel. Prosecutor Tom Little, KC, said: 'He was simply walking to school, minding his own business, looking forward to the day ahead. His life was snuffed out in an instant. In fact, most accurately, he was slain by the defendant.'
Mr Little said Monzo 'moved quickly like a predator behind Daniel. He lifted the sword above his head, swung it downwards towards Daniel's head and neck area. Daniel instantly fell to the ground.’
Mr Little called the attack a 'near decapitation'.
In mobile phone footage a woman can be heard saying: 'F***, he just killed that boy, he just killed him right outside my house.'
A female police officer, Yasim Mechem-Whitfield, pursued Monzo through a series of alleyways before he launched a 'ferocious attack', striking her three times.
He then charged into a nearby house and attacked a couple in their bedroom, but their lives were spared when their four-year-old daughter woke up and started crying.
 Monzo's rampage only ended when he was surrounded by officers in a garage area and tasered. Mr Little said it was a 'miracle' that more people were not killed that day.
He said: 'This case involved a brutal string of attacks with murderous intent primarily committed with the use of a large sword. The prosecution say there was a clear intention to kill a number of people that morning on the defendant's part.'
The defence argued Monzo had a pre-existing condition which made him vulnerable to psychotic episodes prompted by his use of cannabis.
But forensic psychiatrist Nigel Blackwood said Monzo was capable of curtailing his cannabis use and aware of the risks.
'The violence would not, in Professor Blackwood's opinion, have happened in the absence of such voluntary substance misuse,' Mr Little said.
When police searched Monzo's van they found a second knife which he had used to skin his cat before the attack and another 22cm sword.
Monzo later told police that his personality had switched and 'something happened, like a game happening' claiming it was 'like the movie Hunger Games'.
He told officers 'one of his personalities is a professional assassin'.
