Students blow up school toilet tank, 11 questioned

Jun 30, 2012 News

Persons in the vicinity of the J.C Chandisingh Secondary School in Berbice on Tuesday had to scurry for cover when loud explosions were heard coming from the school.
Upon investigation it was discovered that the toilet cistern (tank) in the boys section of the school had been blown up. The incident allegedly occurred around mid-morning.
Information reaching Kaieteur News indicated that after an investigation was conducted, 11 Fourth Form students, between the ages 15 and 16, were subsequently taken into custody and questioned in the company of their parents.
Kaieteur News understands that the students used a Thunder King Bomb (Squib) to blow up the cistern. To create the explosion, the students lit a coil and attached it to the squib. They then moved from the area leaving the coil to burn and then cause the explosion when it reached the bomb.
This is the second time in two years that students of the school have chosen to use explosives to blow up the toilet cistern at the school. The first time the incident occurred, the students involved were transferred to another school.
No one in the education sector was willing to talk about the latest incident. Investigations are continuing.
