(Trinidad Guardian) The TTPS will not charge anyone for the death of Jayden Lalchan citing insufficient evidence to prove bullying played a role in his death.
Lalchan died by suicide on October 2. An investigation was launched into claims that bullying contributed to the death of the 15-year-old St Stephen’s College student. His death evoked sadness and outrage among members of the public who joined his parents and relatives who called for justice.
ACP South/Central Wayne Mystar said, “Southern Division investigators conducted extensive enquiries and have carefully reviewed all available evidence, and have determined that there is currently insufficient evidence to substantiate any acts of bullying by any individual or group as a contributing factor to Jayden’s death. The evidence garnered to date does not meet the evidential threshold.”
The TTPS notes however, the investigation remains active, and officers are calling on the public to come forward with any information which may help in their investigation.
