温哥华豪宅离奇分尸命案 华裔被控

加拿大西温哥华不列颠物业(British Property)区一栋豪宅上周六(5月2日)发生一起离奇命案,一名华裔男士被控对尸体不敬等罪名。但警方至今尚未证实死者身份、与被控华裔男子的关系及案发动机等细节。有当地中文媒体报导称,死者是中国亿万富翁。

据加拿大广播公司(CBC)报导,案发5月2日晚,警方接到报告,指西温乔治国王路(King Georges Way)900号路段一幢独立屋发生暴力争吵(violent confrontation)。警方到场展开调查,并于第二天5月3日一早拘捕了54岁男子的华裔男子赵利(Li Zhao,译音)。

警方至今没有公布此案具体细节,包括死者的身份、赵利在何处被捕等。警方只是透露,死者是一名42岁的男子,和赵利彼此相识,赵利和死者共同拥有案发豪宅

法庭文件显示,赵利涉嫌意图“切碎尸体”(cutting up the body),“猥亵地”(indecently)对尸体不敬。赵利将于下周一(5月11日),在北温省级法庭再次出庭。警方不排除未来对赵利加控更多罪名。

物业登记记录显示,案发豪宅登记在两人名下,其中Li Zhao与警方公布的被控疑人名字相同。

案发豪宅位于宁静社区,住宅大多是豪华的大型独立屋。据居住在该社区的人士表示,案发豪宅居民为华裔,但没有和屋主交流过。

据当地中文媒体报导,有不愿透露姓名的知情人士透露,死者移民加拿大约四、五年时间,为持枫叶卡中国籍人士,来自中国河北,是在亿万富翁。赵利是东北人,和死者是亲戚关系,移居加拿大多年。

Police say 54-year-old man arrested following ‘violent confrontation’ on Saturday night

A 54-year-old man has been charged in connection to the suspicious death of a 42-year-old man in the British Properties neighbourhood of West Vancouver.

Li Zhao, of West Vancouver, has been charged with interference with a dead body.

Police first received reports of a violent confrontation at a home on the 900 block of King Georges Way late on Saturday night.

Officers secured the home and arrested the suspect on Sunday morning. Police won’t say if the body was found in the home or if the victim was someone involved in the confrontation.

“The investigation is at a very early stage. A number of charges are being considered,” said West Vancouver Const. Jeff Palmer. “At this stage we anticipate forensic investigators will be at the scene perhaps for another day or longer.”

No other details, including the name of the suspect or victim, have been released.

The investigation is being conducted in association with the Vancouver Police Department. West Vancouver Police normally conduct homicide investigations with the VPD. In return, West Vancouver Police assign a detective on a full- time secondment to VPD Homicide.
