CONFLICTING REPORTS ON SCHOOLGIRLS

Shaliza Hassanali of the Guardian had an interesting side story on Thursday coming out of the funeral of photo journalist Dionne Jarrette. (http://guardian.co.tt/news11.html)
She quotes the officiant Brother Gregore (sic) Florence as saying that condoms were found in the school bag of the 12 year old girl who, as she says, "...ran away from school..." along with two other students from the Newtown Girls' RC School on Tuesday.
Shaliza does not name the children in her report. She further quotes Bro. Florence as saying "...they had planned to run away since Monday."
Shaliza's report also states that the girls "...were found yesterday at the home of a relative in Diego Martin."

Compare her story to the one printed in the Newsday without a byline (http://newsday.co.tt/news/0,71598.html).
It says the girls who were "lost while returning from the home of a fellow classmate at Bagatelle on Tuesday night, were rescued by a passerby who took them to the Patna Police Post."
The Newsday also does not name the girls.

Camille Bethel of the Express also attended Dionne Jarrette's funeral and quoted extensively from Bro. Florence.

But not once did she mention any of his revelations about the three schoolgirls having "run away", when earlier media reports said they were just "missing". Nor did the Express print an update on the whereabouts of the girls.

TV6 named the three girls on Tuesday night when it was thought they were missing, and the Express printed their names on Wednesday.
