Calgary police say body found in ditch probably linked to car fire deaths
CALGARY — Police say a body found in a ditch west of Calgary is likely to be linked to three people found dead in a burned-out car earlier this week.
Acting Insp. Paul Wozney wouldn’t confirm the identity of the body found, but said police are no longer looking for 26-year-old Hanock Afowerk, the registered owner of the black 2011 Chevrolet Cruze that was engulfed in flames.
“Investigators were notified of the recovery of a body early this morning,” Wozney said Wednesday.
“We sent investigators out to the scene. Evidence and information that was garnered at the scene leads us to believe that the recovery of this body is likely related to the investigation into the triple murder on Monday.”
