Mounties in Surrey say they’ve arrested a 58-year-old man in an ongoing sexual assault investigation involving a 15-year-old girl at a Sikh temple.
Police say the man works at the Gurudwara Dukh Nivaran temple in Newton and his employer has been advised of the allegations.
R-C-M-P say he’s been arrested on conditions not to have contact with the alleged victim and has been told not to be in the presence of anyone under the age of 16 without another adult present.
Police say no charges have been laid yet and their investigation continues.
Police say the car was first spotted at about 3 p.m. and then again in a different area just after 4 p.m. They say they knew based on recent information that the vehicle had been involved in a recent violent crime in another jurisdiction and authorized a police pursuit.
The surviving victim, who was driving, is believed to have a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Police say they are working to find out when and where the shooting happened, and how far the vehicle travelled before the driver pulled over.
The victims have been identified as 26-year-old Harbir Khosa, 20-year old Robeen Soreni, and 19-year-old Jordan Krishna. Khosa and Krishna are both known to police. Two of the three victims died. All three victims are from Surrey.
Winds in the area are known to change constantly and their unpredictability has firefighters and emergency officials preparing for the worst, said Tim Roberts, the area's elected regional director. Much of wildfire was concentrated in steep, mountainous terrain on Friday, and was less threatening to Olalla's estimated 400 properties, but that could change, Roberts said.
Two men were leaving a nearby restaurant when they got into a physical fight with a third man, who was not known to them, in a parking lot. A knife was pulled during the incident. Via release, Mounties say two of the men allegedly involved in the fight fled the area in a vehicle that was boxed in by police near Kingsway and Sussex Avenue.
Justice Martha Devlin said because Todd died in October 2012 and didn't testify and wasn't able to be cross-examined at Aydin Coban's trial, the jury needs to be aware of the limitations of evidence given.
