“Although our investigation is in its early stages, at this time it appears as though one of the deceased was the victim of a homicide. We are working hard to gather evidence to identify the events surrounding this tragedy,” said Cst. Harrison Mohr with IHIT in a release.
“We are not looking for any outstanding suspects, and can confirm that both persons knew each other.”
The incident is believed to be isolated with no risk to the public. The victims were known to each other.
IHIT investigators, and the Victim Services Unit from Surrey RCMP, are in the process of reaching out to the family and friends of the victims.
