Funeral under way for six year-old Oshane Banton
A sombre mood has engulfed the Sedge Pond Basic School in Race Course, Clarendon, where a few mourners have gathered for the funeral of six year-old Oshane 'OJ' Banton.
Oshane's body was found at a pump house near his home in Lionel Town on November 14 last year, after he was reported missing a day prior.
His mother Anika Davidson had suspected foul play, but it's still not clear what led to his death.
Marchelle Williams-Hindes, principal of OJ's alma mater, Wastonton Primary described OJ as a child full of promise.
Oshane moved on from the basic school to attend Watsonton Primary School in Lionel Town. He had dreams of becoming a policeman or soldier and vowed to take care of his mother, his sister and his grandparents.
