T&T: Marabella Jnr Sec's reached where it's going

NINE pupils from Marabella Junior Secondary School were expected to be charged last night for several counts of assault arising out of a fracas outside the school’s compound yesterday morning. Once charged, the youths will appear at the San Fernando Magistrates Court. Two of the pupils were cut with knives and several others beaten, in what police described as the eruption of a long-standing “gang warfare” between members from rival schools. The fighting occurred outside the school’s compound around 11.30 am and according to reports, police were forced to detain 15 pupils at Marabella Police Station for questioning.
