Clarification
A view of Hopewell High School in Hanover
Latest News
December 22, 2023

Clarification

The lead story in today’s Daily Observer carried a photograph of Mr Dalton Hastings, the chairman of the board of management of Hopewell High School, who gave a comment to the newspaper that the school community is traumatised by the killing of the principal.

Mr Hastings is not the person taken into custody by the police in relation to the killing.

We ask that people read the article in its entirety before coming to a conclusion.
