Friends Pay Tribute To Teen Killed By Pellet Gun

Friends Pay Tribute To Teen Killed By Pellet Gun

Friends of a 13-year-old boy who died of a pellet gun injury have been paying tribute to him on social media.

Suffolk Police have named the victim as Ben Wragge.

Officers were called to an address in Thurston near Bury St Edmunds on Sunday by paramedics who were treating the teenager for life-threatening injuries.

He was taken to West Suffolk Hospital in a critical condition, but died a short while later. Ben was set to celebrate his 14th birthday later this month.

Two teenagers were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after the incident, but have since been released on bail.

A memorial page on Facebook has been flooded with comments just a few hours after it was set up.

One commented: "Gone at such a young age. you might be gone, but you will never be forgotten, Fly high angel R.I.P."

Another wrote: "RIP Ben u will always be in my heart man I will miss you so much you will always be in everyone's heart u was so funny.

"Ben always had a smile on his face and he would want us to be happy so we now know he is in a better place."

Police said the two teenagers arrested and released on bail are due to return to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre on 16 June.
