Police say three of the 10-member gang that severely beat Germaine Phoenix, the 17-year-old Pomona Secondary School student, Monday evening, are being questioned while in custody.
The Police have revealed that the three in custody are saying that one of the 10 school leavers and Germaine Phoenix, previously had some problems.
On the day of the beating, the gang of 10 and the victim had a heated exchange of words.
Phoenix, who was venturing to his Good Hope residence, was confronted by one of the 10 gang members.
“This individual walked up to Phoenix and asked him, you remembered what you said?”
The report added that Phoenix duly responded and the gang member started to beat him.
The other members of the gang joined the fight, in support of their friend and proceeded to beat Phoenix with steel rods and pieces of wood.
Phoenix was rescued and taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, by an eyewitness who saw what was happening and proceeded to chase away the gang with a cutlass.
The victim is now said to be in a stable condition.
Irate residents and family members are calling on the relevant authorities to deal with the high level of criminal activity perpetuated by some of the students at the School.
