      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.

      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.

      “There is also indication that the woman may have been associated to a dark coloured, smaller to mid-sized, hatchback SUV or crossover-style vehicle,” Det. Lara Jansen with IHIT said. “We are urging anyone who may have seen a similar vehicle or heard any suspicious activity in the 4300 block of Garden Grove Drive, between midnight and 2:00 a.m. on March 18, 2020 to contact IHIT.”
