A STUDENT of the Aurora Secondary School in Region Two is currently nursing severe injuries to his face and head after another student reportedly dealt him several heavy punches during a fight.

Ruel Connor has to undergo emergency surgery to his jaws. An X-ray revealed that both his jaws are broken. Conner was rushed to the Suddie Public Hospital Friday last after he was discovered lying in a pool of blood by teachers. He had to be immediately transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital due to the severity of his injuries.

Friday’s fight stemmed from a “texting match” between Connor and his attacker during which the two insulted each other about their mothers and sisters with text messages.

This spilled over into a heated confrontation which led to the fight.

Parents of the injured Connor are now questioning why the headmistress sent home their son’s attacker, who was seen escaping to Caria Caria after the incident.

The police were called in and an investigation has been launched. The School’s Welfare Department is also investigating the matter. Parents from the Aurora PTA are however contending that the acting headmistress should have launched an investigation into the matter before releasing the attacker. The Guyana Chronicle was unable to make contact with the acting headmistress.

Meanwhile, this newspaper was told that the attacker has a history of bad behaviour at school and despite several complaints, nothing has been done. His parents were called in several times to the school because of his behaviour. Reportedly, he was also recently called in for having a sexual relationship with a younger female in the dormitory.
