Two brothers who are charged with the physical attack on a Cumberland High School student last month were remanded when they appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court on Tuesday.
The 19- and 14-year-old siblings were ordered remanded until July 24.
They are both charged with wounding with intent.
They had surrendered to the police a day after the June 15 attack.
The 11th-grade student was attacked by a group of men who chopped and stabbed him several times.
The student reportedly intervened in a dispute between two schoolmates and was later set upon by men from a neighbouring community who were called to the scene by one of the students involved in the dispute.
