(Trinidad Express) A 15-year-old schoolboy was left to die on a street near the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella Friday night after being chased, beaten and stabbed in the chest.
Damien Duncan, a third form student of Carapichaima Secondary School was attacked by a gang of eight youths.
The person who stabbed him is reported to be another teenage student of a school in Debe.
Duncan was in his school’s uniform when he was killed.
He had attended the Big 5 school InterCol final between Carapichaima and Presentation College, San Fernando.
The game was won by Presentation 2-0.
Duncan lived with his mother, Brenda Callender, 52, in Freeport. He was her only son.
She was inconsolable on Saturday.
Duncan’s father, Emry Duncan, lived in Point Fortin.
He told the Sunday Express he was unsure what sparked the attack but that his son was a “cool guy”.
