A 27-year-old suspect has been taken into custody and formally accused in connection with a double homicide case that occurred in Burnaby, British Columbia, three years ago. The arrest of Mohammed Arif Ansari took place on Friday, and he now faces two charges of second-degree murder along with one count of indignity to human remains.
The Burnaby RCMP discovered the bodies of Kiesha Garie, aged 31, and Umair Kasim, aged 30, inside a vehicle on Alpha Avenue on October 17, 2022. Law enforcement officials have stated that the homicides were deliberate and that there was a prior acquaintance between the victims and the alleged perpetrator.
Further details regarding the incident have not been disclosed at this time. Authorities had previously revealed that the deceased individuals, who were a couple from Coquitlam, British Columbia, had been reported missing before their tragic demise.
