A former classmate described 19-year-old Kavish Persad as a “ferocious debater” yesterday, as relatives, friends, and schoolmates bid farewell to the Hillview College scholar who died in a car accident along the Beetham Highway on Tuesday.
Persad’s funeral was held at his family’s Mahelal Street, Aranguez, home, before a large procession made its way to the Caroni Cremation Site, where he was cremated under Hindu rites. Members of the media were not permitted inside the service, which was attended by scores of classmates dressed in their school uniforms.
