Little Gabriel Orellano Laid to Rest

Today, little Gabriel Orellano was laid to rest after a funeral service at Saint Martin de Porres Church. The six-year-old Stella Maris student drowned a week ago after escaping through the school’s front gate. He ran two miles down Freetown Road, Wilson Street, and Marine Parade to the “Hangar,” where he slipped into the sea. Since then, the community has been vocal about the circumstances leading to the incident and critical of those who saw the child running in traffic but didn’t stop him. We were there and bring you these images.
