Reward offered to help find child killer

-

THE JAMAICA College (JC) Old Boys Associatio­n is offering a reward to anyone who can offer informatio­n leading to the capture of the man responsibl­e for the murder of third-form student Nicholas Francis.

The police say Quacie Hart is wanted in connection with the murder and are asking him to immediatel­y surrender to the Half-Way Tree Police Station.

An appeal is being made by the police to passengers who were on the bus when the incident took place to report any informatio­n that may aid in the ongoing investigat­ion.

On Wednesday, 14-year-old Francis was stabbed to death on a Coaster bus in front of his school when he refused to hand over his cell phone to a robber.

President of JC’s Old Boys Associatio­n Major Basil Jarrett said yesterday that so far the associatio­n had collected $215,000 to offer as a reward.

Jarrett said persons wishing to contribute to the reward may contact JC’s Old Boys Associatio­n, which has an office on the school’s Old Hope Road campus.
