The Manchester police are currently probing the circumstances surrounding the murder of a man in the Old England community, in the parish on Monday morning. 

The deceased is 37-year-old farmer, Aldo Scott, otherwise called 'Shortman' and 'Chuckum', of a May Day district address. 

According to reports, approximately 1:15 a.m., residents heard explosions and alerted the police. 

Scott was later found in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds. 

He was pronounced dead at hospital. 

The Manchester police say Scott was a person of interest in relation to a murder in the Porus district last December, and had information that could help lawmen with investigations.
