She said three of the suspects are 19 years old and the fourth is 24 years old. Archie said more arrests and charges will follow in connection with the murder.

Carrington was a member of the now disbanded Flying Squad, which was led by the late Randolph Burroughts. He also served on the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, the North Eastern Division and the Criminal Intelligence Division.
