An Edmonton man has been charged in connection with the deaths of two people found inside a home in Langley, according to police.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said officers were called to a residence near 16 Avenue and 208 Street at 11:15 a.m. on April 27, where they located the bodies of an 18-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man. Police have not released the victims’ identities.
Investigators have identified the accused as 33-year-old Craig Lefferty-Tucaro of Alberta. He has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and was taken into custody on May 3.
According to IHIT, the accused does not have a prior criminal record in British Columbia. Investigators believe he was known to the victims. The investigation remains ongoing.
Lefferty-Tucaro remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on May 11. For Edmonton-area residents, the case highlights interprovincial policing coordination when suspects and victims have ties across provinces.
