MANDEVILLE, Manchester — Two teens charged in connection with the attempted murder of one of their peers, who was left to die in a cave, were remanded when they appeared in the Mandeville Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Anthony Forbes, 18, is before the Court on a charge of attempted murder, while a 16-year-old (name withheld because he is a minor) is charged with conspiracy to murder.
The two are to return to Court on March 12.
The police have confirmed that they are searching for a third teenager, a 17-year-old boy, alleged to have been involved in the crime.
Robert Cleary, father of the injured 17-year-old who is recovering in hospital under police protection, told the Jamaica Observer that he believes the teenager on the run is extremely dangerous.
"Those guys (must) be put away. They are monsters in our society," said Cleary.
The police have confirmed that the fugitive, a high school student, has a case pending in the Porus Children's Court for stabbing another youngster late last year in his community of New Hall, central Manchester.
He was reporting to the Mandeville Criminal Investigation Bureau according to the conditions of his bail.
In the latest incident, the teenaged victim from Inverness in Central Manchester — who turned 17 on Monday — was found on February 14 in a remote cave in New Hall, severely wounded with stab wounds and other injuries.
He had gone missing on February 12 after attending school. more
