5yrs old boy suffers violent death' that was so gruesome medics had to be given counselling

A five-year-old Scottish boy suffered a 'sickening and violent' death that was so gruesome medics had to be given counselling. 

The boy, named locally as Scott Chiriseri, was found by an ambulance crew called to a flat in Alva, Clackmannanshire, yesterday morning after a member of the public dialled 999.

The boy, who is understood to have suffered a stab wound, was pronounced dead at the scene and residents of the Scottish town have today left tributes.His mother, believed to be Zimbabwean Farai Chirashi, was being questioned by detectives last night.

Neither the boy’s father, named locally as Tichakunda Chiriseri, or his older sister Natasha, are thought to have been at home at the time of the incident.One mother, who asked not to be named, told the Scottish newspaper: 'Scott was in my son’s class. He was very popular and had a great personality.' 

Chigozie Ononiwu, a Nigerian IT worker who lives nearby, told the paper his son was in the same class as Scott at Alva Primary School.

'I cried when I heard what had happened to Scott. He was a lovely little boy and was due to come over to our house this weekend.'

He added that it had been difficult to explain what had happened to his own son, who is 'very upset'.

There are phycos everywhere. A poor defenceless child. Rest in peace.
