Two years after murder of Surrey hockey coach, investigators still seek answers

It’s been nearly two years since Paul Bennett was gunned down in the driveway of his Cloverdale home.

The 47-year-old father was murdered in broad daylight on June 23, 2018. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has said Bennett, who was a hockey coach and registered nurse, was a victim of mistaken identity.

Sgt. Frank Jang with IHIT says the case is very much active and remains a “priority” investigation.

“We haven’t forgotten about Paul, not since Day 1, and we are actively going after those responsible, so we need people with information to step forward and do the right thing,” Jang said.
