The would-be murderers had apparently planned to carry out the crime on Saturday, when they were to meet up with four girls known to to them and select a likely victim.

One of the three is reported to have taken a knife from his parents' home and another dressed in female clothing to avoid recognition.

However the three, who were known to police for several other offences, delayed their plot for fear the girls might be interviewed by police.

They were however arrested after an anonymous tip-off and are reported to have made full confessions.
