Aaron Bess, a 17-year-old of Patentia, West Bank Demerara was fatally stabbed yesterday and two teenagers are in custody.
The police in a statement said that the attack occurred at around 9.30 pm. The suspects are a 16-year-old student from Skull City, Patentia and a 17-year-old student from Patentia.
Enquiries disclosed that Bess was walking from Two Field, heading to a nearby shop to make a purchase, when the suspects began pelting him with bottles and bricks due to an old misunderstanding.
As Bess continued his journey, the suspects approached him, and one of the teens dealt him two lashes with a piece of steel while the other teen took out a knife from his waist and dealt him several stabs about his body. As a result of the injuries, Bess fell to the ground, and the suspects made good their escape on foot. Bess was later pronounced dead.
