Principal of the George Charles Secondary School Walstau Alfred said he is deeply saddened by Thursday’s stabbing of one of his Third Form students at Pavee, Castries yesterday afternoon.
Alfred told St Lucia News Online (SNO) it is very unfortunate for a student to be attacked in full public view.
“People seems to be deteriorating so much; their whole capacity or mental capacity to handle any situation or deal with a person in a sociable way… It is unfortunate and we are saddened by it,” he added.
Alfred said that from information received the 15-year-old Felicity Florton is in a stable condition and is slowly recovering from her injuries.
Residents reportedly saw Florton running and screaming for help while bleeding profusely on the street at around 3 p.m. Thursday.
One resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the teenager sustained multiple stab wounds to her face, abdomen, one between her legs and another on her wrist. This is the second female student to be attacked in Castries within 10 days.
The suspect turned himself into the police at about 10 p.m. Thursday.
