A 15-year-old boy in Belarus on Monday allegedly stabbed to death his teacher and a classmate, inflicting serious injuries on two others.
Authorities say the boy; a student of a school in the town of Stouptsy, 65 kilometers southwest from the capital, Minsk, before the first lesson, entered the class and stabbed his 53-year-old history teacher in the neck.
He was said to have entered another classroom and stabbed a student before escaping through the window and injuring two others.
Local media have reported that the boy was arrested by the police about two hours after the attack. He was reported to have deleted his social media accounts on Sunday.
The Investigative Committee’s directorate in Minsk has launched an investigation into the killings.
