Father of murdered schoolboy confident that killer/s will be found

Shekar Beephan,. of Heliconia Drive in. Roystonia, Couva, told. Newsday that based on. information received,. the police are following. certain leads and they are. expected to bring some. closure to this investigation. in quick time. He. added that investigators. have been keeping him. abreast on the status of. the case.

Beephan said when. the Waterloo Secondary. School student went. missing on Monday, he. found it quite peculiar. that a student would. claim that he saw Jesse at. the St Mary’s taxi stand at. about 2 pm that day. According. to Beephan, his. son never travelled and. he believes that information. was fed to the police. to throw them off.

He described Jesse as. a good person and said. that on Monday his son. did not have any classes. but he still decided to go. to school to lime with his. friends.

Beephan said that is. something Jesse used to. do so it was not unexpected. that his son would. leave home for school. when he did not have any. classes.

Police sources revealed. that several students of. the Waterloo Secondary. School were interviewed. yesterday by Homicide. officers.

Newsday also understands. that when Jesse. went missing on Monday,. no searches were carried. out for him by the police. and it was only after a. senior officer intervened. and contacted officers. of the Anti Kidnapping. Unit, that statements. were recorded.

Jesse’s decomposing. body, still dressed in his. uniform, was found in a. drain behind his school. located at Raymond Jurawan. Street off the Waterloo. Main Road in Carapichaima.

He had injuries to the. right side of the face and. the autopsy revealed that. he died from blunt force. trauma to the head.
