The suspect held by police in connection with the killing of 27-year-old Tyron Duesbury, who was fatally shot in Agricola, has confessed, according to the police.
“The suspect would have since confessed to that murder,” Region 4 (a) Commander Senior Superintendent Phillip Azore yesterday confirmed when contacted by Stabroek News.
The deceased, Duesbury, of William Street, Kitty, was struck by a bullet while he was inside a car with four others on June 23rd. The shooting occurred between 12.30am and 1am.
Azore had told Stabroek News that investigations have revealed that Duesbury and others had ventured to the village, where a party was reportedly taking place. Upon arriving at Brutus Street, they saw a crowd of approximately 100 persons.
Duesbury and his companions, the Commander said, drove by the crowd and witnessed a brawl. They were turning around the vehicle when they heard several explosions, which were suspected to be gunshots.
Duesbury reportedly told the others in the car that he had been shot and upon investigating they saw him bleeding from his mouth. He was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
