ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Homicide detectives are investigating two suspicious deaths in Abbotsford, B.C.

Police in that Fraser Valley city say they were called to a home in a rural area of north Abbotsford on Monday.

Two unnamed victims were found dead inside the home.

The police statement says early indications suggest the deaths are not connected to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is now handling the case and will provide any further updates.

It is appealing for any dashcam or surveillance video taken in the area around the 33600 block of Arcadian Way between Sunday morning and midday Monday.
