WESTERN BUREAU:
A SECOND suspect who is wanted by police in connection with the stabbing death of a 15-year-old Muschett High School student in Trelawny almost two weeks ago is now behind bars.
The suspect, a 17-year-old schoolmate of the deceased, was reportedly taken into custody on Sunday at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St. James, after arriving from Baltimore in the United States.
The Gleaner has learnt that his relatives arranged to have him sent back to Jamaica.
It is said that the teenager left the country shortly after the incident, in which Kemar Barrett of Adelphi, St. James, was killed. He is expected to face court tomorrow.
ATTACKED BY SCHOOLMATES
Barrett was attacked on June 16 by a group of schoolmates armed with knives and machetes, outside the institution in Wakefield. He allegedly disarmed one of them and used a knife to cut him. He was in turn stabbed.
The injured 17-year-old fifth-former, who was hospitalised under police guard, appeared in the Falmouth Resident Magis-trate's Court last Wednesday on murder charges where he was given $350,000 bail. A condition of his bail is that he be restricted from leaving his house after 6:00 p.m. He is booked to return to court on July 9.
