BIRMINGHAM MAN WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA DETAINED FOR SCHOOLGIRL STABBING
A friend of a schoolgirl stabbed to death in Birmingham city centre has described the 'nightmare' ordeal, nearly 10 years after the attack.
Rosie Ross, 16, was stabbed by a man with schizophrenia in an unprovoked attack in May 2001.
Her friend Sarah Elstob, who had been shopping with her that day, described how they had both seen Rosie's killer minutes before the attack.
Inderjit Kainth was detained indefinitely for the killing.
Although he denied murder, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility in court in December 2001.
Miss Elstob said she and Rosie had both been in the same house at Aldridge School, where they had met in Year 8.
Rosie had been due to sit her GCSEs and had applied to study fashion and design at college.
Miss Elstob said that on the day of the attack, they had been shopping together in the city centre when they were approached by Kainth.
