during a fight at the Fernando

the group allegedly took a pair
of scissors and stabbed one of
the older boys in the chest.
The emergency services
were called and the boy was
taken to a nearby health centre

were unclear at the time of going
to press.
The girl suspected of being
responsible for the incident was
taken to the Local Police station
for questioning and the details of
the incident have been given to
the prosecutors of minors office.
