The Integrated Homicide Team has taken over the investigation of a man’s body found in a car at 189th Street and 92nd Avenue early Tuesday. The Surrey RCMP found the man’s body at about 9 a.m. It was inside a vehicle and early investigation suggested a homicide. “We are in the early stages and although
the cause of death will have to be confirmed through autopsy we can say that this incident does not appear to be a random act,” said Cpl. Dominic Duchesneau of IHIT. IHIT held a press conference at about 4 p.m. on Jan. 21 and only gave out preliminary details. Duchesneau said more information will be provided during the course of the investigation but for now the police aren’t releasing more. The police would not say the man’s approximate age or ethnicity.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took over the case.
Duchesneau said the police believe they have an identity but wanted to confirm it and notify the man’s family. On Wednesday morning, IHIT announced it was still not ready to release more information. The car was abandoned on a narrow dead-end road in the residential neighbourhood of large, semi-rural properties. “I’m in shock,” said nearby resident Karen Polson. A resident for 15 years, she’s always felt safe in the neighbourhood but has noticed that it’s changed in recent years.
