The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has identified the victims of a double homicide on Friday in Richmond, B.C.
The homicide team says 25-year-old Chaten Dhindsa and 23-year-old Joban Dhindsa were brothers and were known to police.
The team says Richmond RCMP responded at 4:45 a.m. Friday to assist with a structure fire, but once the blaze was extinguished, two bodies were found inside the home.
Police say the injuries sustained by the two men were consistent with a homicide and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team assumed conduct of the file.
Det. Lara Jansen says this is believed to be a targeted incident related to the victims' involvement in the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict.
She is urging anyone with information to contact IHIT or Crime Stoppers.
