Share On

R-C-M-P in Langford, just west of Victoria, are investigating a homicide.

They say the body of a man was found inside a vehicle as officers responded to a single-car crash in a rural area of the community late Monday night.

Police have not said how the unnamed man died, but foul play is suspected and members of the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit are appealing for witnesses, dash cam video or home security tapes.

The case was the second of the day on Monday for the major crimes unit after members were also called to the North Cowichan/Duncan area when a body was found on Cowichan Tribes Land, but few details of that case have been released.
