Information reaching SEARCHLIGHT suggests that an argument broke out between the two in the Information Technology lab at the boys’ school, at around 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 04th.

The argument is believed to have stemmed from a group assignment in which the boy who was stabbed, accused his assailant of causing him to do poorly in.

During the argument, he (the boy who was stabbed) reportedly slapped the other boy, who left and returned and stabbed him.

Officers attached to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force are investigating the incident. (KJ)
