- Bipanpreet Singh, 22, residing in Surrey
Additionally, Inderpreet Khosa, 19, residing in Abbotsford, has been charged with forcible confinement in relation to this incident.
On January 27, at 1:52 a.m., the Abbotsford Police Department (AbbyPD) responded to a suspicious occurrence in the 2900-block of Victoria Street in Abbotsford. Witnesses reported seeing a man being assaulted before being taken away in a vehicle.
Around three hours later, the 19-year-old victim was located in the Crescent Beach area of Surrey with severe injuries. On February 1, the victim succumbed to his injuries at the hospital and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) assumed conduct of the investigation.
Based on the initial investigative steps, IHIT believed this to be a targeted incident not related to the BC Gang Conflict.
Over the past six months, IHIT has been working in close partnership with AbbyPD, RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit, Surrey Police Service, the Integrated Forensic Identification Service, BC Coroners Service, Winnipeg Police Service and Manitoba RCMP Division Major Crime Unit to advance this investigation.
On August 1, the BC Prosecution Service laid charges against five men in relation to the incident and homicide of the 19-year-old.
“IHIT would like to thank all our partners for their support and assistance with this investigation,” said Cpl. Sukhi Dhesi of IHIT.
