Man guilty of murdering boy with sword in Hainault Marcus Monzo, 37, has been found guilty of murdering 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword in Hainault, London. The former Amazon delivery driver also faced three counts of attempted murder, wounding with intent, and possession of an offensive weapon.
