  • B.C. homicide team investigates beating death of a 19-year-old man

Homicide investigators are looking into an attack on a 19-year-old man that started in Abbotsford, B.C., then led officers to Crescent Beach in Surrey more than 45 kilometres away. 

Officers were called on Jan. 27 to an area on Victoria Street in Abbotsford when witnesses were reporting that a man was assaulted and then taken away in a vehicle. 

Police say in a statement that three hours later, the 19-year-old man was found near Crescent Beach with severe injuries.

He was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries on Saturday. 

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says its officers believe the attack was targeted and there's no likely risk to the public. 

Homicide spokeswoman Sgt. Freda Fong says investigators will be in the area to look for video and collect evidence that may lead to the killer or killers.

The B.C. Court of Appeal says a man convicted of sexually assaulting his wife deserves a new trial because messages between the pair about a consensual "rape role-play" scenario were wrongfully excluded as evidence. The ruling released on Friday says the complainant and accused, who can't be identified under a publication ban, were married but separated at the time of the alleged sexual assault in November 2019.
