Arrest made 4 years after Monroe banker found dead in well

LEXINGTON, Ga. (AP) An Athens man has been arrested on murder charges more than four years after his business partner's body was found in a well.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Thursday that an Oglethorpe County grand jury indicted Victor Blockum this week in connection with the 2012 shooting death of 25-year-old Monroe banker Charles Parker.

Authorities say Parker was last seen alive on Jan. 15, 2012, when he and Blockum went to look at property to buy a poultry farm together. The victim's body was discovered inside a well in Oglethorpe County about a month later.

Blockum was arrested at his home on Wednesday. He is facing numerous charges, including malice murder and felony murder. It is unclear whether he has an attorney.
