On the evening of June 30, 2025, at approximately 7:46 p.m., Abbotsford Police patrol officers responded to a dispute at a residence in the 36000 block of McKee Road.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) continues an investigation in Abbotsford where two people were found deceased inside a residence.

Background:

On the evening of June 30, 2025, at approximately 7:46 p.m., Abbotsford Police patrol officers responded to a dispute at a residence in the 36000 block of McKee Road. Upon arrival, officers entered the residence and discovered two deceased adults.

IHIT was called to investigate and continues to work in close partnership with the AbbyPD Major Crime Unit, AbbyPD Forensic Identification Service (FIS) and BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.

Update:

Initial information gathered indicates this was an isolated incident involving an 80-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman who lived together at the residence.

Investigation to date suggests this was a murder-suicide involving intimate-partner violence. There are no outstanding suspects and no ongoing risk to the public.

“This was a tragic incident and a shock to the community,” says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “We extend our thoughts to the emergency personnel, the family members of the deceased, and members of the immediate community who may be affected by this event.”

All large Canadian banks and many other financial institutions are a part of the CDIC framework, which covers most deposits and guaranteed investment certificates but not mutual funds, stocks, bonds or cryptocurrencies.
