A male student from a high school in Manchester was reportedly beaten by his male friends at the school after he and a female schoolmate were reportedly caught having oral sex inside a classroom.

THE STAR was informed that the incident took place last Wednesday and has since become the talk of the town.

"Me get a likkle news that dem ketch two likkle pickney inna the classroom a sex ... dem seh a all the while dem do it," a resident from the parish told THE STAR.

Another resident who claimed to have heard about the incident explained to THE STAR that, "him and the girl did a do it ... but you know seh man bun dem thing deh," which resulted in the boy being assaulted.

When contacted, the vice-principal of the school in question was tight-lipped about the matter and offered only a brief statement. "From time to time, the students say things but I don't want to comment sir," she remarked.

The Area Three police confirmed that they were aware of an incident at the school but emphasised that an investigation would have to be conducted.
