The family and relatives of 11-year-old Mark Harry-paul, who died after he was struck in the head when a teenage boy slammed a gate shut at Strathspey Primary School, have said they will hold a protest today over the Director of Public Prosecutions’ (DPP) decision not to charge the teenager.
The incident occurred almost five months ago, but the file that was sent to the DPP for advice was only returned to the Vigi-lance Police Station last Wednesday. Harrypaul’s parents were duly inform-ed that no charge was recommended against the teenager. However, the DPP advised counselling sessions for the 14-year-old.
