The father of a teenager who tried to kill a fellow pupil in a school knife attack has described his devastation and belief that his son was "radicalised" by extreme material online.

The boy, now 16, was found guilty of attempted murder last week after a trial heard how he harboured a hatred of women, had a fascination with serial killers and had planned to target others in the attack at Thorpe St Andrew School, near Norwich.
