Man taken into custody after woman’s suspicious death in Langley

A woman was found dead in a home in Langley on Saturday and a man was taken into custody, according to authorities.

Officers were called to the residence on the 20800 block of 87 Avenue around 2:45 p.m. on Saturday for a “report of a suspicious death,” the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in a statement Monday.

A 24-year-old woman was found deceased, and a 29-year-old man was taken into custody “based on initial observations at the scene,” IHIT’s statement said, adding the two were in a relationship.

Although authorities described the woman’s death as suspicious, the investigation has not yet determined whether criminality was involved.

“While this investigation is in its preliminary stages, investigators believe this was an isolated incident,” IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Freda Fong said, in the statement.

“We are working to establish a timeline and the circumstances leading up to the woman’s death.”
