Three juveniles were charged yesterday in relation to the murder of 17-year-old Aaron Bess at Patentia.
The police said that they appeared at the Wales Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Rhondel Weever, where they were remanded to the Juvenile Holding Centre until April 30th, 2024.
Bess was fatally stabbed on March 20.
The police in a statement said that the attack occurred at around 9.30 pm.
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 fled on foot. Bess was later pronounced dead.
