A 15-year-old boy is facing serious charges after allegedly attacking a married couple in their Worthing home with an axe. The incident occurred on Monday morning while the couple, in their 40s, slept. One victim suffered severe injuries, including the loss of an arm and serious head trauma, and remains hospitalized. The other victim was treated for injuries and has since been released from the hospital.
The boy appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday charged with two counts of attempted murder. He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, and address during the brief hearing. Prosecutor Jeremy King detailed the man's injuries, stating he had 'more serious injuries to his face, eyebrows and the top of the head' and 'suffered the loss of one of his arms.' Chief Inspector Kelly Lewis of Sussex Police confirmed that the boy is known to the victims and that there are no other suspects at this time. The teenager is scheduled to appear again at a crown court and has been remanded into custody
