St. Margaret’s student feared dead after seawall outing
A seven year-old student of the St Margaret’s Primary School is feared dead after he disappeared when he jumped off the jetty at the Kingston Seawall.
According to reports, the lad, Devon Elija Gibson, was last seen alive around 3:30 hours yesterday.
This publication was told that the lad who lives in Queen Street, Tiger Bay, along with three other lads was accompanied to the seawall by an older man from the community.
Reports are that the other boys were swimming while Devon was seen jumping off of the jetty. However, the lad failed to resurface, and that prompted the man who took them to the location to start a search. Devon was not found. The matter was immediately reported to the police and the lad’s grandmother with whom he lives.
Up to late last evening, Gibson’s grandmother was accompanied back to the seawall by police ranks. The man who took the boys to the seawall was in custody assisting the police with investigations even as the three other boys were providing the police with statements.
