Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Jan, 2021 05:57 PM

The RCMP say a Calgary man and B.C. woman have been attacked and killed after stopping on the side of a highway just west of Creston, B.C.

Police say the victims were found at around 7 p.m. Wednesday just a few kilometres outside Creston at a pullout on Highway 3 in southeast B.C.

A statement from the Mounties says a 40-year-old Calgary man was pronounced dead at the scene and a 25-year-old West Kootenay woman was rushed to hospital but could not be revived.

The stolen vehicle was found near Salmo, about 80 kilometres away, but police say the suspect has not been located.

Staff Sgt. Scott Aschenbrenner, commander of the Southeast District Major Crime Unit, says it's believed the suspect and victims knew each other, but names have not been released.
