Surrey RCMP has called out the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) following the discovery of a body in the Whalley area of Surrey.

On May 10, 2023, at approximately 5:00 pm, Surrey RCMP located a body in an alley in the area of 103A Avenue and Old Yale Road.

Investigators sought assistance from the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS) and
are working closely with BC Coroners Service to determine the cause of death.

At this time, it is believed criminality is a factor, therefore the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been deployed and will be working in partnership with the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Unit.

The area surrounding the scene will be cordoned off for a significant amount of time. Officers are interviewing witnesses and canvasing the area for further information and evidence. More details will be released by the IHIT Media Relations Officer as they become available.
