A Surrey teen who went missing last week was found dead in the trunk of a car parked in Vancouver Thursday.
Sachdeep Singh Dhoot, 18, is Vancouver’s third murder victim of the year.
Vancouver Police Const. Jason Doucette said officers were called to the area of Fairmont Street and Vanness Avenue just after 3 p.m. Thursday to investigate the discovery of a stolen vehicle.
“Officers found Dhoot’s body in the trunk of the vehicle,” he said in a news release.
“Investigators have confirmed that Dhoot was reported missing to the Surrey RCMP last week, who were investigating. Based on the information collected so far, this does not appear to be a random murder.”
Anyone with information about this murder is asked contact investigators at 604-717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
