Men charged in mysterious murder of young Abbotsford, B.C., man
Months after a 19-year-old man was murdered under mysterious circumstances in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, several suspects have been arrested and charged. Authorities have never publicly identified the deceased, but said he was found walking in the Crescent Beach area of Surrey with 'severe injuries' on the morning of Jan. 27. Hours earlier, witnesses reported seeing a man being assaulted in Abbotsford and hauled away in a vehicle. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said the incident does not appear related to the B.C. gang conflict. 'The victim had his whole life ahead of him,' said Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT, in a statement following the young man's death. 'Sadly, his family is now left in grief with many unanswered questions.' On Friday, authorities announced charges against five men. Counts of first-degree murder and forcible confinement have been approved against 21-year-old Ravdeep Gill of Winnipeg, 26-year-old Harmandeep Gill of Brampton, 20-year-old Jaskaran Singh of Surrey and 22-year-old Bipanpreet Singh, also of Surrey. Inderpreet Khosa, a 19-year-old from Abbotsford, has also been charged with forcible confinement.
