Durban:
A 16-year-old Indian origin student was stabbed to death and his
elder brother wounded after a confrontation in school, media
reports said Monday.
While Dareshan Moodley was stabbed to death at Chatsworth, an area
in Durban largely dominated by people of Indian origin, his
18-year-old brother Revarsheen is undergoing treatment in the
city's R.K. Khan Hospital, the Daily News newspaper reported.
According to the boys' father Jayce Moodley, the whole matter had
its roots in a recent incident in their school, Welebedene
Secondary School, when another student struck Dareshan for
speaking to his sister.
Dareshan had fought back but the other student pulled out a knife
and stabbed him.
The father said he had reported the matter to school.
After attending a fair at Chatsworth Saturday night, the two
brothers were on their way home early Sunday with some of their
friends when a gang of youths attacked them.
The youth who had stabbed Dareshan was also in the gang, according
to the report.
The brothers' friends rushed to the Moodleys' home and brought
their father to the scene.
“Dareshan was lying on his back on the ground and I could not see
his injuries. He was already dead,” Jayce Moodley was quoted as
saying.
“I felt his heart and he was gone. I closed his eyes. Revarsheen
was across the road, struggling to breathe and moaning.”
Visvin Reddy, the chairman of Chatsworth unit of the African
National Congress, said he would be contacting the education
minister of Kwazulu-Natal, Senzo Mchunu, to call for regular spot
checks for knives in schools.
According to local education department statistics, three students
have died in violence between students this year, while last year
the figure was 22.
