“We are currently working with the police to ensure that justice is done.
“I deliberately refrained from making public comments on the case before now because the aged parents of the deceased needed to be informed of this very tragic development.
“They were only informed on Thursday about the murder of their only son.
“This is all that I want to say at this time. Investigation is ongoing. I will make additional public statements in due course as the need arises.
