A 10-year-old girl was allegedly abducted from the gates of a school in central Jamaica and sexually assaulted, law-enforcement officials have said.

The incident happened on Tuesday, just days after a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in Flanker, St James.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security and Peace, Dr Horace Chang, said the latest incidents are cause for serious concern.
