Student knives another at technical school
HAVANA, March (Amarilis Cortina Rey, Cuba-Verdad
/ www.cubanet.org) - One student died as
a result of knife wounds after a fight with
a fellow student at the end of February.
William Vel, 16, was stabbed twice by Yosangri
Matos, 15. Both were students at the "René
Ramos Latour" technical school, and
the fight took place near the school shortly
after classes.
"Yosangri fled the scene, but gave
himself up to police afterwards," said
students who witnessed the incident but
who didn't want to be identified. The Cuban
press has not mentioned the incident.
The students agreed that bearing knives
and even sometimes guns are common practices
at the school.
The students said the day after the fight,
teachers at the school did body searches
of all students.
The school, located in the Arroyo Naranjo
municipality of Havana, is for students
learning crafts such as that of machinist
or auto mechanic.
