A team of investigators led by a senior detective has been dispatched to Karasabai to probe the murder of former National under-23 footballer, Daxton Parks.
Parks, 28, of St. Ignatius, Lethem, was killed when a man shot him with an arrow following a heated argument around 22:00 hours on Sunday.
This newspaper understands that Parks, who also worked as a contractor, was in the Karasabai area carrying out some construction work.
