About 10 minutes later police say they were alerted to a burning vehicle about three kilometres away.

Cpl. Frank Jang of IHIT says the burned car is believed to be the Mercedes. Police believe the incidents are related.

They say tracking Khakh's activities before his death is one of the priorities for the detectives.
