Former St Mary's College (CIC) principal Dr Anthony de Verteuil says he has forgiven those whom he believes have “resurrected” a bullying incident at the school 33 years ago “in the interest of politics.”

Delivering the sermon during Mass at the Living Water Community, Port of Spain, on March 29, De Verteuil alluded to the incident in which a former student Imran Khan allegedly “clubbed” his then schoolmate Stuart Young when they were both students of the school in 1992. A report in the TnT Mirror claimed Khan was reportedly expelled after the incident.

It was alleged that Young, Trinidad and Tobago’s current prime minister and others had been bullying Khan for several years at the school. On one occasion, Khan retaliated by hitting Young with a baton on his head.
