A 46-year-old father and his 13-year-old son have been murdered inside their family home, B.C. homicide investigators said on Saturday.
They provided an update after it was reported on Friday that two bodies were found inside a Richmond home.
“Although the investigation is in very early stages, the initial evidence suggests that this was a targeted incident and the investigators are still working to determine a motive,” Sgt. Timothy Pierotti said, with B.C.’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
“This incident occurred at a residence situated in the area of the Rocky View Playground and the London Sports Fields.”
