One of two young homicide victims found this week in western
Canada is the son of a high-ranking
Australian police official, Canadian police said.
The bodies of Lucas Robertson Fowler, a 23-year-old
Sydney native, and Chynna Noelle Deese, 24, from the US state of North Carolina, were found Monday along a remote stretch of highway in northern
British Columbia province, the police said in a statement late Friday.
A blue Chevrolet minivan registered in neighboring Alberta province was found on the side of the road, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said, without confirming whether the van belonged to the couple.
