Investigators say Langley house fire could be triple homicide

Homicide investigators say they expect to spend the rest of this week at a Langley home where three bodies were found after a weekend fire.

Fire crews were called to the scene, near 197 Street and Wakefield Drive, around 5:30 p.m. Saturday and arrived to find the house fully engulfed.

Police found a man’s body in the backyard. They say he was a resident and his injuries indicate he was murdered.

Two other bodies found inside the home have not been identified and police believe they will soon know if they are possibly looking at three homicides.

A man was also rescued from the second level of the house.

“He’s OK. He’s fine,” Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesperson Frank Jang said.

“We have spoken with him and we’ve been able to ascertain quite a bit of information but the investigation continues.”
