A ‘SLEEPOVER’ turned deadly after a 15-year-old boy was shot to the head by his 17 year-old friend in Sandy Babb Street, Kitty, Georgetown, in the wee hours of Wednesday.

Several hours after, he was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced clinically dead in the Intensive Care Unit.
The perpetrator, who was in hiding, was arrested at another house by police.

Relatives said that, although the shooting occurred at 05:30 hours, they only learned about it three hours after, and the family was left in a state of shock, after visiting him in the Intensive Care Unit.

“The people are not telling us what really happened at the hospital; the neurologist told us that he was brain dead. They did a scan and they found fragments in his head, there is a bullet in there and they can’t do any surgery now because the brain was swollen,” one relative said.

Another relative said: “We have to get justice and answers. Nobody is telling us anything.”

Police are investigating the circumstances of the death.
