Three sus­pects are cur­rent­ly in cus­tody fol­low­ing the mur­der of 44-year-old Sean Parisi­enne in Scar­bor­ough on Fri­day night.

Po­lice said Parisi­enne, a fa­ther of two, was walk­ing through an al­ley in­to the Gar­den­side carpark around 7.15 pm when gun­shots were heard. The in­ci­dent star­tled pedes­tri­ans in the cap­i­tal, while shop­pers in the near­by View Port Su­per­mar­ket were al­so shocked.

Parisi­enne, orig­i­nal­ly from Ar­gyle but who was liv­ing in Ba­co­let, was lat­er found ly­ing mo­tion­less with mul­ti­ple wounds to the body. DMO Dr Hazel Thomp­son pro­nounced Parisi­enne dead at the scene.

Griev­ing rel­a­tives who gath­ered at the scene de­scribed Parisi­enne as a cool in­di­vid­ual and an ex­cel­lent crafts­man. How­ev­er, they said he was in­volved in an al­ter­ca­tion last year that re­sult­ed in him chop­ping an in­di­vid­ual.

On Fri­day, rel­a­tives looked on in dis­be­lief around 9 pm as po­lice ar­rest­ed a male sus­pect known to them at the crime scene. He was placed in­to the back of a po­lice van and tak­en away.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
