Body found in Chilliwack home

Darpan News Desk IHIT, 18 Jan, 2024 10:45 AM

B-C's Integrated Homicide Investigation Unit says officers were deployed to a Chilliwack home yesterday after a 66-year-old woman was found dead.

It says officers also found a 37-year old man suffering non-life-threatening injuries and a 68-year-old man was arrested at the scene.

IHIT says initial evidence indicates the incident was between three family members and there is no ongoing risk to the public.

It says it will not be releasing the name of the suspect or victims at this point out of respect for the family’s privacy and because it does not believe it would further the investigation.
