The search is on for a suspect who murdered a United States visitor in Castara on Wednesday night.
According to police, officers attached to the Moriah Police Station responded to a report of a wounding on Castara Depot Road at around 11:12pm.
On arrival, the officers were led to a concrete track, where they found the body of a Caucasian man lying motionless. He was wearing a blue shirt and black shorts, and what appeared to be a knife was stuck in the middle of his back.
He was identified by his girlfriend as 44-year-old Chris Brown of the United States.
The Castara Tourism Development Association and villagers are outraged about the incident and are assisting officers in locating the alleged attacker, who they say resides in Mason Hall.
