The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has released the name of a victim in a homicide investigation in Abbotsford.

The announcement was made Sunday morning (March 21), along with an appeal for more information from the public in the death of Jeevan Singh Sull, 61, of Abbotsford.

Sull was injured and taken to hospital by paramedics on March 3 after someone made a hang-up call to 911. The incident took place in the 32000 block of Slocan Drive in Abbotsford.

IHIT says Sull succumbed to his injuries on March 14, which is when they took over the investigation.

“IHIT has been working closely with the Abbotsford Police Department and the BC Coroner’s Service to gather evidence and complete priority tasks,” says Det. Lara Jansen from IHIT. “This is believed to be an isolated incident between parties known to each other. However, IHIT is appealing for witnesses.”

They believe there may be dash-cam footage, CCTV or witnesses with more information in the case. They did not release what happened to Sull to or how he died.

Anyone who was in the 32000 block of Slocan Drive on March 3 between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPs (8477).
