What started as a celebration ended in sorrow as a student of President’s College and her father were among four people killed in a collision on the public road at De-Hoop, Mahaica on Saturday evening.
Dead are Kellon Jones, Jason Rudder, Jamella Rudder and Chris Gonsalves.
Jason Rudder’s wife Shondel Niles told Stabroek News on Sunday that Jamella was the top performer at Leeds Primary School at the recent National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) and gained a place at President’s College.
