“WHY, why?” was the question on the lips of Temple Hall residents who had gathered on Stony Hill main road yesterday afternoon, just metres away from the scene where the body of 11-year-old Mark Leslie was found, face down in a riverbed in the community.
“He was literally on a stone in the middle of the river, with a sweater ova him head,” said one woman who asked not to be named.
The woman was part of a group of concerned parents who had congregated yesterday morning at Mannings Hill Primary School, where Leslie was a student, to hold devotion and pray that their search for the grade-six student would not be in vain, since the boy had already been missing for two days.
“All we could say is 'God, please help us to locate him'. Mi nah say 'God cover him' because mi just feel inna miself say something wrong. I said 'God, help us to locate him now', and den when we walk go round there so, and police find him,” said the woman.
A resident of Temple Hall, who spoke with the Jamaica Observer, said they had been searching the community, looking for the little boy, but saw no signs of him until yesterday afternoon when police made the frightening discovery. more
