A male suspect is in police custody.

The dead one (Leo) took a stone to knock the one that killed him but someone stopped them. In a matter of minutes one man dead,” the eyewitness told SNO.
“The man that killed Leo was caught by police and he waved goodbye to people while entering the police van,” the eyewitness added.
