B.C. man arrested, charged in 2022 double homicide in Metro Vancouver
A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with two homicides in Burnaby, B.C., three years ago.
Investigators say Mohammed Arif Ansari was arrested Friday, and two counts of second-degree murder and one count of indignity to human remains have been approved against him.
Burnaby RCMP found the bodies of 31-year-old Kiesha Garie and 30-year-old Umair Kasim inside a vehicle on Alpha Avenue on Oct. 17, 2022.
Police say the homicides were targeted, and that the victims and the accused knew each other.
No further details on the case were released.
Police had previously said that the victims were a couple from Coquitlam, B.C., that had been reported missing before being found dead.
