A teacher has fatally stabbed an eight-year-old girl at an elementary school in South Korea, in an incident that has shocked the nation.

Days before the stabbing, the teacher had displayed violent behaviour, including putting another teacher in a headlock, the education office said.

She told them she had purchased a weapon on the day of the attack and brought it to school - adding that she had planned to kill herself along with a child.

The testimony went on to say that the teacher did not care which child it was, and targeted the last to leave. She managed to "lure the child into the media room" before attacking them, it said.

The student was reported missing on Monday evening, after a bus driver informed the school that she had not arrived to be picked up that day.
