Legal representatives for the victim’s moms and dads stated the family was “relieved” that Bryan had actually likewise now been apprehended.

“His involvement in the murder of Mr Arbery was obvious to us, to many around the country and after their thorough investigation it was clear to the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) as well,” they stated in a declaration.

The GBI stated Bryan would be scheduled into the Glynn County Prison.

A legal representative for Bryan, Kevin Gough, formerly informed Sky News’ partner organisation NBC News that Bryan was just a witness to the shooting and had actually completely worked together with cops.

He declared that Bryan remained in his lawn when he saw Mr Arbery running, followed by a white pickup truck with the McMichaels in it.

Bryan followed them due to the fact that he desired a picture of Mr Arbery, Mr Gough stated.

Mr Gough stated: “There had been a number of crimes in the neighbourhood, and he didn’t recognise him, and a vehicle that he did recognise was following him.”

He added that Bryan willingly went to regional cops and addressed concerns throughout a “lengthy” interview without an attorney.

The lawyer stated a polygraph test Bryan took revealed he was unarmed at the time of the shooting – which it verified he did not have any discussion with Gregory or Travis McMichael that day prior to the shooting.
