Richmond RCMP confirm the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called in after a double homicide overnight.
Police were called to a home in the 6600-block of Eckersley Road around 2:30 a.m. following a report of gunfire.
Cpl. Frank Jang with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says officers found two people dead in the home.
“With indoor crime scenes, they can be very complicated,” Jang said.
We have our integrated forensic identification service specialists here on the scene, and our investigators will not be leaving the scene until we are absolutely satisfied that we have collected all the physical evidence.”
Jang described the killings as targeted, and said the victims knew each other and lived in the home.
He said they were also known to police, and that investigators were now working to determine if the house had a history as well.
“Our investigators, some are here, some are back at Richmond RCMP detachment working with the serious crimes investigators. We have investigators that are right now crunching computers and looking into the past history of this residence.”
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the IHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
