Schoolboy murder accused remanded
The 17-year-old school boy who reportedly stabbed to death his classmate during a fight at their after- school lessons on Wednesday, was yesterday remanded to jail after appearing before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Before reading the charge, the court requested the presence of a probation officer who witnessed the proceedings of the matter involving the teen.
Akeem Roberts, the teen, was not required to plead to the indictable charge of murder. It was alleged that on May 16, last, at John Street, Campbellville, he murdered Shane George. Roberts will return to court on June 11.
According to reports, the accused and the deceased attended the same after-school lessons at Morgan’s Learning Centre, John Street and Delph Avenue, Campbellville. The two boys were reportedly engaged in an altercation which ended up with the accused stabbing George in the chest.
