Be comforted
Grieving students of Balaclava High School listen to comforting words from Education Minister Ronnie Thwaites on Thursday, hours after the body of their schoolmate, 15-year-old Desrick Williams, was found in Thornton with chop wounds to the head. Another 15-year-old, Ashnell Coke, a student of Maggotty High School, was murdered in the same incident. The police have said they have no motive for the killing of the teenagers, though a man was detained for questioning. Two minibus operators were also slain in north-west St Elizabeth late Wednesday in an incident police believe was connected to lotto scamming activities.
