BURNABY (NEWS 1130) – A body that was found badly burned in Burnaby’s Greentree Village park early Thursday morning still hasn’t been identified, but Mounties believe it is that of a woman.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken over the case, and believes the body is “likely that of a woman under five feet tall.”
The body was found at around 2 a.m. in the park, which is located near the BCIT campus. Investigators believe the woman may have been in the area up to two hours before.
UPDATE: after a burned body was found yesterday in #BurnabyBC, @HomicideTeam say they believe it is that of a woman's, under 5 ft tall. She may be associated to a dark coloured, small to mid-sized hatchback SUV or crossover-style vehicle.
