Bend, Or-A 41-year-old Bend man has been arrested on murder and aggravated murder charges, accused of killing two 18-year-old Bend residents with who he’s been doing work at a southwest Bend home, police said Thursday.
Police were called around 11:15 p.m. Wednesday to a home in the 20000 block of Mount Faith Place where a homeowner reported having found a person’s body in the garage, Communications Manager Sheila Miller said. Police arrived, confirmed the discover and secured the scene until the arrival of detectives, who found the second body.
An initial investigation found that on Tuesday, Wesley Abel Brady, 41, and alleged victims Angela Alexus Pastorino and Alfredo P. Hernandez were doing work around the home for the homeowner, Miller said, adding that Brady also lived at the home at times.
Later that evening the teens and the homeowner were drinking alcohol at the home when Brady and Hernandez got into a physical fight and then murdered both Pastorina and Hernandez.
Brady allegedly put both teens’ bodies in the home’s garage before traveling to a property he owns in Christmas Valley.
While police were at the home, Brady returned and arrived in the area and was detained. He was arrested and taken to the Deschutes County Jail, where he was held without bail on one count each of aggravated murder, murder, strangulation first-degree sodomy, first-degree sex abuse, first-degree abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. He could make his first court appearance Friday afternoon.
