Schoolboy stabbing took place at Saints, not Bishops

Jan 22, 2009 News

Fourth form student Omesh Danram, who was stabbed following a scuffle arising from a dispute while playing a collectible card game, is attending Saint Stanislaus College, and not Bishops High School, as was reported yesterday.
Further, the stabbing took place in the Saint Stanislaus College compound, and not within the confines of Bishops High School.
The 14-year-old student reportedly left school as usual on Monday afternoon and went to private mathematics lessons in Georgetown. After his extra lessons were finished, Danram and other students from different schools around Georgetown returned to Saint Stanislaus College.
As it was after school hours, the guard at the school would not let them enter the compound, but they told the guard that they needed to use the toilet facilities, and were subsequently granted entry to the school.
Once inside the school compound, Danram and his friends began to play the collectible card game.
Due to a dispute arising from some aspects of the card game, a scuffle ensued between Danram and another of his friends, who attends Queen’s College. As the boys fought, Danram was stabbed in the left side of his back by the boy who attends Queen’s College.
After the stabbing, the Queen’s College student took flight, and one of the other boys summoned his parents, who took Danram to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he received five stitches for his wound. By this time, Danram’s parents had been alerted, and they came to the GPHC.
“When I got there,” said the wounded boy’s mother, Laloutie Danram, “the doctor had already seen him, and then I found out that everything was all right.” The wounded schoolboy returned to school on Tuesday.
According to reports reaching this newspaper, the parents of the boys involved in the fight met at Queen’s College on Tuesday.
