IHIT File # 2026-455

Background:

On April 27, 2026, at approximately 11:16 a.m., Langley RCMP responded to a report of a suspicious incident in the 21000 block of 16 Avenue in Langley. First responders from the Langley RCMP, Township of Langley Fire Department, and BC Ambulance Services attended and located two deceased individuals inside a residence. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) deployed and assumed conduct of the investigation.

IHIT continued to work in close partnership with the Langley RCMP, Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service to advance this investigation.

Update:

The two victims were an 18-year-old young woman and a 33-year-old man who resided together at the residence. Police will not be releasing their names at this time out of respect for their families’ privacy, and because it is not needed to further the investigation. 

Over the past week, IHIT investigators completed an extensive neighbourhood canvass, interviewed several witnesses and followed up on leads from the public. 

As a result, a suspect was identified and arrested on May 3, 2026, in relation to the murders.

On May 4, 2026, 33-year-old Cregg Lafferty-Tuccaro of Alberta was charged with the second-degree murders of the two victims. Mr. Lafferty-Tuccaro had no prior police history in BC; and investigators believe this to be an isolated incident where parties were known to each other. Mr. Lafferty-Tuccaro has been detained by the court and is next scheduled to appear on May 11, 2026.

“This was a tragic incident and our hearts break for the victims’ families as they grieve the sudden loss of their loved ones,” says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Our thoughts are with them as well as the first responders and support workers who responded to this call. Through teamwork and persistence, IHIT investigators gathered the evidence needed to secure charges, which we hope will support the healing of those impacted.”
