THE Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was deployed to Chilliwack on Wednesday after a woman was located deceased inside in Chilliwack home.

On January 17 at 1 p.m., Chilliwack RCMP responded to a 9-1-1 call from a residence in the 46600-block of Teton Avenue. Officers located a 66-year-old female who was deceased and a 37-year-old man suffering non-life-threatening injuries.  A 68-year-old man was located at the residence and was arrested without incident for murder.

Initial evidence indicates this was an isolated incident between three family members, with no ongoing risk to the public, said IHIT.

At this time, IHIT is not releasing the name of the victim out of respect for the family’s privacy. Additionally, in consideration of the evidence collected, it is not believed that the release of the victim’s name at this stage would further the investigation in anyway.

IHIT has taken conduct of the investigation and is working closely in partnership with the Chilliwack RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).

IHIT is asking anyone with information regarding the homicide to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
