There are reports that a policeman could appear in court as early as Wednesday morning to face murder charges in the shooting death of 16 year old school boy Kelvin Fraser.
The young man was shot a short distance away from his school after he ran from the police who had visited the school following a complaint by the headteacher than young men were gambling and smoking in the school.
Friends of the teenager said he had done nothing wrong but ran away from the police along with other students when they saw the police beating and abusing the young men held. A policeman gave chase to young Fraser and he was shot at close blank range after he fell into a drain.
The gunshot shattered his ribs and damaged his lungs. A post mortem examiniation revealed that the shot gun may have been pressed against his skin.
