Police say the vehicle was a silver 2005 Mazda 6 that possibly had Alberta license plates. “All indications suggest that this is a homicide, and police look to the public to help further the investigation. We are looking to speak to anyone that may have knowledge of this incident, or that had seen a grey 2005 Mazda 6” said Supt Wijayakoon of the BC-RCMP
The North District Major Crime Unit has taken over the homicide investigation. Mounties are looking to speak with anyone that may have saw smoke in the area, in the days leading up to October 13th.
