We felt sad, frightened and scared. We were writing exams and no one could write," one learner says.
This learner from Clairwood Boys Primary says the 10-year-olds were inseparable.
"They were good, respectable boys. They were always together - they were best friends. I would see them together - the two of them playing together," he says.
