Residents at Diamond Valley, St Philip, remained in shock yesterday over the discovery of 15-year-old Cheston Collis who went missing for six days.

The boy, a student of the St Leonard’s Boys’ School, was reported missing by his guardian, Beresford Hunte, who said he never made it home from school last Friday.

However, the boy was found on Wednesday evening huddled in the upstairs patio of an adjoining apartment at the house in Diamond Valley where he resided. That apartment was locked and unoccupied.

Yesterday when a Weekend Nation team visited the close knit district, many residents said they did not know the boy or the family he lived with.

A man who was lived in the district all of his life said: “Them is people that just come in the neighbourhood. They don’t walk ’bout and if you do see them they in a car,” he said.
