The identity of the schoolboy who carried out two horrific stabbings in Colchester can be revealed for the first time today after he was found guilty of double murder.
James Fairweather carried out two sickening attacks in the Essex town after becoming obsessed with the Yorkshire Ripper and 'hearing voices'.
He denied murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility but was convicted by a jury at Guildford Crown Court.
In the first killing - carried out when Fairweather was just 15 - he repeatedly stabbed disabled father-of-five James Attfield.
Mr Attfield was found fighting for his life with more than 100 wounds in the early hours of March 29 2014. He died a short time later.
Fairweather's second attack came three months later, when he killed Saudi Arabian student Nahid Almanea, 31, as she walked through a park.
She was knifed 16 times and Fairweather later admitted stabbing her in the eye after knocking off her sunglasses.
