The student of the Linden Foundation Secondary School who was stabbed on Thursday by a fellow student remains in the hospital and her condition is still regarded as critical.
Her brother last night told this newspaper that his sister is unable to eat and is being fed intravenously. He explained that while she is in a critical state, she has shown improvement and has been speaking. Nonetheless, he stated that she is unable to move around due to her injuries and for the moment she is confined to her bed.
Meanwhile, Regional Commander of Region 10, Hugh Winter last night told Stabroek News that one of the two arrested students remains in custody and they will be seeking legal advice today. Winter said that investigators will complete the case file and forward the file to the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice. The student was stabbed in the back by her schoolmate during a fight not far from the school.
