The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been enlisted to assist in the inquiry surrounding the murder of Member of Parliament Asot Micheal, as reported by sources familiar with the situation.
A young male suspect is currently in custody while law enforcement continues its investigation.
It has been reported that this individual was detained while attempting to flee the country and is believed to be of Jamaican heritage.
Authorities have chosen to remain discreet regarding the case details as their inquiries progress.
In the meantime, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has stated that his administration will allocate all necessary resources to the police to ensure the apprehension of those responsible for the murder of Micheal, the St. Peter’s MP, whose body was discovered in a pool of blood at his residence in Dry Hill on Tuesday morning.
The police have classified the death as a homicide, indicating that foul play is suspected. Reports indicate that Micheal sustained multiple stab wounds, and a photograph obtained by Antigua.news shows blood emanating from the back of his neck and other areas of his body.
