An "inexperienced" teacher was sacked after he stood by and did nothing while a pupil was savagely beaten in his classroom.
Daniel Murphy was fired from Kirkby High School, in Knowsley, Merseyside, after accepting he "failed to safeguard" a child during the assault in his science lesson.
On November 21, 2019, Mr Murphy was teaching when the student (Pupil A) was "taken to the floor" by a classmate before being kicked by several others, reports the Liverpool Echo.
