Couple With Vernon Ties Found Dead

Police say a man and woman with links to Vernon have been found dead inside a home in Richmond.

RCMP received reports of gunshots at a residence on Eckersley Road early Monday, and later found the bodies of 36-year-old Keri Smith and 37-year-old Terrence Peter Smith inside.

“The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is confirming that 36-year-old Keri Smith and 37-year-old Terrence Peter Smith were the victims of homicide,” says a news release from IHIT.

Mounties say the couple had recently moved to the Richmond area from Surrey, and also has ties to Vernon but don’t say what those are.
