Two dead in Coquitlam home

"Evidence from the initial investigation indicates that one of the deceased persons was the victim of a homicide," said Const. Harrison Mohr with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Homicide investigators gather evidence from a home at 719 Seaton Avenue in Coquitlam Wednesday morning.

Two people are dead and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating at a home in Coquitlam.

According to a press release, police arrived to a Seaton Avenue home Monday at 3:30 p.m. to discover two people dead inside before IHIT took control of the scene.

"Evidence from the initial investigation indicates that one of the deceased persons was the victim of a homicide," said Const. Harrison Mohr. "Although the circumstances surrounding the death of the second person are still being examined, we do not believe that there are any outstanding suspects."

Wednesday, a forensic team had set up a tent on Seaton Avenue near Ducklow Street while police tape cordoned off a nearby home and police cruisers blocked parts of the road.

"We believe this incident was contained within the residence and can confirm that both persons know each other," Mohr added. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends affected by this tragedy."
