Man admits to beating son, causing his death

May 10, 2017 News

Investigators in ‘C’ division have managed to secure a confession from a 40-year-old man whose son died one day after his father struck him to the head during an argument at their Better Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home.
The incident occurred around 07:30 hrs on Thursday. Azeez Khan, 18, died while receiving treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) the following day.
Initially, investigators were made to believe that the young man fell from a ladder and sustained injuries to the head.
However, a Post Mortem examination done on Khan’s remains on Monday indicated that he died from haemorrhage due to blunt trauma to the head. His injury is consistent with a hit rather than a fall.
Having received this information, ranks allegedly went to the teen’s neighbourhood where neighbours related that Khan did not fall but was instead struck to the head with an object.
The young man’s father was subsequently taken into police custody where he admitted that he and his son were arguing and a fight subsequently started.
It was during the fight that he struck the young man in the head with a piece of wood which resulted in him falling to the ground.
A source said that further investigation is required before the suspect is taken before the court.
