Education minister pledges support for family of 3 y-o- killed in St Mary
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister of Education Youth and Information Ruel Reid in condemning Wednesday night’s killing of three-year- old Kelecia Matthews described her as a child who, no doubt, was full of promise.
Reid in a release this afternoon said robbing the life of such a young and innocent child is a depraved act and should be condemned in all sectors of the society.
He also noted concern for the step-father of the child who witnessed her demise and is pledging the ministry’s support to offer grief counselling as this “painful ordeal should never be the reality of any parent in this country and must never become the norm.”
