Police have launched an investigation into two separate episodes of violence involving students of two popular Secondary Schools in the City.
The matter was reported to the police after two students; a 16-year-old male student of Brickdam Secondary School, and his cousin, a female student of St George’s Secondary School were violently attacked and injured during confrontation with their peers.
According to Michelle Bollers, a relative of the injured students, the matter has been receiving the attention of the relevant authorities including the school’s welfare department, the Human Services Ministry Probation Office and the Police. “It is a serious issue and so we took it to the Police,” she said.
Bollers claimed that a gang of teenagers from the St George‘s Secondary School attacked her cousin after he ventured into the school compound to collect a bunch of keys from his aunt, who works nearby.
She said that the lad also went to visit his cousin, who had been stabbed with a pair of scissors during a separate incident the previous day at the school.
The student, who was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation following the incident yesterday, recalled that he was attacked by a gang of boys as he was leaving the school.
“I just went to see my cousin. I was leaving the school when a set of boys come from behind and start knock me in me head. They ask me if I want problems with them … By the time I realize what happen blood was running down my school clothes.”
The teenager said that he is not familiar with any of the boys, but recalled that his cousin was stabbed with a pair of scissors after she refused to talk to a boy in class.
“I don’t know what really happen between them and I had nothing to do with the issue. All I know is that she get stab and I went to see if she ok,” the boy said.
Both students have provided statements to the Police and Probation department. Investigation into the matter is ongoing.
