Prince George RCMP are asking for information from the public following the discovery of a body.
On Saturday Jan. 12, RCMP were notified about a person laying in a ditch on West Lake Estates Road, off Blackwater Road. Officers later determined the 40-year-old male was deceased and members of The North District Major Crime Unit are investigating it as a homicide.
Earlier in the day Prince George RCMP received a report of a vehicle fire off Highway 16 in the Beaverly area. It appeared to be abandoned and investigators are attempting to determine if there’s a possible link between the vehicle fire and the homicide.
