A violent assault where several teenage girls beat a Holy Faith Convent, Couva, student has triggered public outrage and an official investigation by the Ministry of Education.

A 30-second video showing the brutal beating of the 15-year-old schoolgirl was circulated online yesterday.

The victim, a Form Four student, was attacked around 3 p.m. while waiting at the school’s front gate for her mother to pick her up.
