THE Ministry of Education yesterday expressed regrets at the weekend death of a schoolboy in Westmoreland.
Fourteen-year-old Demaro Gayle, a third-form student of Belmont Academy in Westmoreland, was fatally shot by armed intruders at his home in Savanna-la-Mar on Sunday night.
Principal Rayon Simpson, who visited Gayle's parents yesterday, said the deceased was a good student who will be sadly missed by the Belmont Academy school community. The principal said trauma counsellors from the ministry's Mandeville Regional Office were on standby to offer support to family members.
Education Minister Ronald Thwaites, who sent condolences to Gayle's parents, relatives and friends, called on the police to swiftly bring Gayle's killers to justice. more
