Son Arrested in Fathers Murder

Ian Aitcheson and his friend, 19 year old Danny Weaver will face capital murder and arson charges in the death of Aitcheson's father Bob. The Silverhill man was killed and then his home set on fire early Wednesday morning, according to investigators.
"Ian Aitcheson, which is Mr. Aitcheson 16 year old son, on charges of capital murder and arson in the first degree," announced Baldwin County Sheriff Hoss Mack.
Late this afternoon, News Five learned 19 year old Keshjuan Betts of Robertsdale was also taken into custody and charged with capital murder in the death of Bob Aitcheson.
He was found dead in this burned out mobile home early Wednesday morning. Sheriff Mack says the fire was started to cover up the crime. "Mr. Aitcheson succumbed to a single stab wound to the upper abdomen possibly made with a large knife."
News Five has learned from a source that admits to being with the three suspects the night of the murder. The person says they were in a car not far from the mobile home and they fell asleep when they were awakened by an explosion and then footsteps running towards the car. First Keshjuan Betts, next Ian Aitcheson and finally Danny Weaver running back to the car, away from the explosion.
All three arrests were made in a Robertsdale mobile home park. Betts arrest was particularly surprising for his neighbor Gilbert Harrison. "I just can't believe it. It sounds like a totally different kid. I just can't believe it."
Betts first court appearance is set for Monday.
Aitcheson and Weaver remain jailed without bond for the murder and a million dollars bond for the arson.
Ian Aitcheson is being charged as an adult but will not be eligible for the death penalty because of his age.
Prosecutors say the death penalty is a possibility for the other two suspects because of the severity of the crime.
