THE SHARP edge of a broken bottle caused the death of 15-year-old Darrion Callender.
Callender, of Freeport was killed following the BGT&T Secondary Schools Football at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella on Friday. He had attended the Big 5 school InterCol final between his school Carapichaima High School and Presentation College, San Fernando.
He was beaten about the body by a student. But it was a stab wound that killed the third form pupil.
Yesterday, the Ministry of Education issued a media release mourning Callender’s death.
’The manner of Darrion’s death is disturbing and regrettable particularly in light of the ongoing programmes and initiatives undertaken by the Ministry at all levels of the school system with regard to the curriculum, discipline and anger management,’ the release stated.
Police officers detained several pupils for questioning following the incident and yesterday a teenager from a secondary school in Debe was still assisting the officers.
