A 12-year-old student of Dolphin Secondary School died on Tuesday after being stabbed by a friend at Cummings Park, ‘E’ Field, Sophia, Georgetown.
Dead is Kareem Durant of Lot 1338 Cummings Park, ‘E’ Field, Sophia. The 11-year-old suspect has been arrested.
Inquiries revealed that Durant and the suspect were friends who would usually play together in the community. On Tuesday night, the suspect was sitting on a pile of PVC pipes which are stored on the parapet at the side of his home, when the victim went up to him and pushed him off of the pipes, which caused him to fall to the ground. The suspect then got up and ran inside his home and informed his older brother, who then approached the victim calling him in the presence of the suspect and enquired about the issue they had earlier.
