A musician has been arrested for the murder of an Upstate woman. New information has come out regarding the murder case. Greenville County Sheriff Hobart Lewis held a press conference Thursday and announced an arrest stemming from the Greer murder last month.
Christina Parcell was found dead October 13th in her home in the Canebrake Subdivision.

The suspect identified as 29 year old Zachary David Hughes turned himself in on Wednesday. He faces charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. While Sheriff Lewis was limited in what details he could release of the ongoing investigation, he did say investigators worked a lead that led them to believe Hughes was the person responsible for killing Parcell.


Hughes is a professional pianist who is not from the area. Lewis says the Sheriff’s Office still doesn’t have a motive for the murder, they also are unsure if Hughes even knew the victim.
