THE 14-year-old’s death was blamed on boxing match injuries – but schoolmates claim he could be a victim of violence at the notorious Christian Brothers home.
POLICE are being urged to launch a new probe into the death of a teenager at a notorious care home.
Alexander Harvey died at St Ninian’s School, in Fife, in 1960. His death was blamed on injuries he had received in a boxing match.
The 14-year-old’s death was never fully investigated but rumours have circulated in the village of Falkland that Alexander may have been the victim of abuse.
Schoolmates claim he could be a “forgotten victim” of violence at the Christian Brothers home, which has been at the centre of a historic scandal.
