Darkness at Noon - 8 Std Boy Passes Away

It was not exactly noon, but the day was bright and the sun still shone as tragedy struck Loyola High School, MSJ, in the evening of Thursday 16 August when Peter (13) studying in 8 std. was run over by a mini-bus driven by a drunkard at the wheel, who literally left the road and ploughed into the muddy track some feet away where the young was walking on his way precisely out of abundant caution to avoid exactly such a mishap. Death literally came chasing him as the drunken driver who drove his vehicle right on the top of the prostrate youngster and smashed open his skull, spilling his brains on the soil. The poor parents of Peter are inconsolable. A pall of gloom has descended over the school. We are grieving.
