IHIT investigating fatal early morning stabbing in Abbotsford

It’s been a deadly weekend in Metro Vancouver as IHIT has been called to its second investigation in as many days.

According to a press release from Constable Angela Galos with Abbotsford Police, the service is investigating a homicide.

On Saturday, January 8 at 2:07 am, Abbotsford’s Emergency services responded to a stabbing on the 2400 block of Clearbrook road.

“Upon arrival, Abbotsford Patrol members located a 41-year-old male seriously injured. The male was transported to hospital where he, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries,” reads the release.

The police say that while the investigation is in its preliminary stages, at first look, it seems to be a targeted incident.
