Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Jul, 2020 05:53 PM

Charges have been laid in connection with a fatal double shooting in Vancouver.

Police say a 43-year-old man was taken into custody Wednesday night in Harrison Hot Springs, east of Vancouver.

He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder and has made his first appearance in provincial court in Vancouver.

A vehicle of interest associated with the murders was also found in the same general area where the man was arrested.

Police have identified the two victims as 72-year-old Dennis Wragg and 68-year-old Paul Tonks, both of Vancouver.

They were already dead when police arrived at an east Vancouver home early Monday and investigators say the slayings were not random.
