Downtown East Murder

The moment i heard the news about the murder of Darren Ng at Downtown East, i followed up the news in order to know who are the murderers. Being so young and innocent, he was not deserve to be killed. It was even sadden to know that he was a friend of my classmate.

I've ever lost a friend. She was technically my secondary school junior. We were together in the Student Councillor Board. It all happened after i joined the board a few months later. Every morning, we had to come to school early for our morning meeting. However, on that particular day, all the student councillor (SC) were asked to gather in the library instead of the assembly area. When we reached the library, our principal, vice-principal (VP) and discipline master were all there too. That was when our VP broke the news to us. Our junior, Amanda (not her real name) was killed in a hit-and-run. We were told that she was crossing the road towards a neighbourhood library when she was knocked down by a car. She died in the hospital. The news was brought to us first before the principal told the whole school.
Amanda was only 14 when she died.
