0:00It's April 15th. This is Sydney News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. A former teacher at Keysboro's Secondary College in Melbourne, 37-year-old Kim Ramchand has been ruled mentally fit to face charges for. Allegedly stabbing the school's principal last December, he'd been in custody since the attack on principal Aaron Sykes, which happened right after Ramchand learned his contract, wouldn't renew for the 20. 26-school year, Ramchand snapped, grabbed a knife from the staff kitchen, and went straight to Sykes's office. The incident locked down the whole school, with Ramchand facing four charges, like a salt with a weapon and causing injury. Sykes got an intervention order for protection, and no one saw Ramchand in court this week. Now his lawyer says a guilty plea is coming soon, once they hash out a deal with prosecutors. That mental fitness report cleared the way, even with his serious issues. The case heads back to court next month, so we'll see how the plea plays out from there.
