THE Montego Bay police have arrested a man who they believe can assist them in their investigation of the shooting death of Derrick ‘Corey’ Edwards on Thursday night.

Edwards, 32, was a member of dancehall group Merital Family.

According to the Corporate Communication Unit (CCU), the Jamaica Constabulary information arm, no charges have been laid against the suspect who was picked up on the weekend. Investigations are ongoing.
