A 31-year-old man from Edmonton has been identified as the victim of a homicide in Abbotsford, B.C., last weekend.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said the man killed was known-gangster Jimmy Chau.
Chau was found in a field Sunday morning by a passing motorist.
“An autopsy has been completed and although the cause of death will not be released I can tell you the injuries are consistent with a homicide," said Sgt. Jennifer Pound from IHIT. "Mr. Chau is known to police and at this time this appears to be a targeted and gang related homicide."
Investigators are still asking for anyone with information to step forward.
