Yesterday marked an emotional morning on the East Bank Berbice as relatives, friends and the community said their goodbyes to 13-year-old Leonard Archibald who was murdered after leaving home to collect his sisters from a birthday party.
The suspects – including one who has been accused of a series of sexual offences – remain in police custody.
The funeral service was held at Archibald’s residence in Brothers Village. The main road opposite Archibald’s house was filled with cars as persons turned out in their numbers to remember and pay their finally respects to the Overwinning Primary School student.
