An Alberta man has been charged with second-degree murder after an 18-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man were found dead inside a Langley, B.C., home last week.
Homicide investigators said Cregg Lafferty-Tuccaro, also 33, has been arrested and is set to appear in court on May 11.
Police said the accused is not known to authorities, and investigators believe the case to be an isolated incident in which the suspect and the two people who died knew each other.
On April 27, Mounties found the bodies inside a home in the 21000 block of 16 Avenue.
Police, firefighters and paramedics attended the scene, after police said they received a call about a “suspicious incident.”
The identities of the victims have not been made public.
Teresa Townsley, owner of nearby Festina Lente Estate Winery, told CBC News she was just opening up last Monday when she heard sirens.
Townsley said she lives on-site at her winery and has heard multiple instances of gunshots and screeching tires in the area of small farms recently.
“It’s becoming more and more frequent, especially over the last couple of weeks.”
