A 13-year-old Excelsior High School student remains in a coma at the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH) after she was stabbed while trying to intervene in a violent domestic dispute in Bayshore Park in the vicinity of Harbour View, St Andrew, on Saturday night.

As doctors prepare for another major surgery to save her life, her distraught mother is now desperately appealing for public assistance to secure expensive medical items required for the procedure, as well as donations of blood.

The alleged attacker, identified by relatives as Kemar Mitchell, the father of the injured teen’s cousin’s child, remains on the run as police intensify their search for him.
