Teen Arrested in Connection with Brutal Murder of Aaron Bess in Patentia

Police have detained a 17-year-old student in connection with the savage killing of Aaron Bess, also 17 years old, who was viciously beaten and stabbed to death in Patentia, West Bank Demerara, on Wednesday night. Authorities are actively searching for another suspect, a 16-year-old student from Skull City, Patentia.

According to reports from Police Headquarters, the tragic incident unfolded when Bess was walking from Two Field towards a nearby shop to make a purchase around 9:30 p.m. Allegedly, the suspects initiated an attack by hurling bottles and bricks at Bess, stemming from an old disagreement.

As Bess attempted to continue his journey, the assailants confronted him, with one wielding a piece of steel and striking him repeatedly, while the other assailant stabbed him multiple times across his body. Following the brutal assault, Bess collapsed, and the teenage suspects fled the scene on foot.

Good Samaritans rushed Bess to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where medical personnel pronounced him dead. Subsequent examination by law enforcement revealed stab wounds to his left upper chest, left lower stomach area, and right side neck (jugular vein). The body currently resides at the Ezekiel Funeral Home in Best Village, awaiting a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.

Police disclosed that the apprehended 17-year-old suspect is a school dropout, shedding light on the troubling circumstances surrounding the tragic incident. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities intensify efforts to locate and apprehend the remaining suspect involved in this heinous crime.
