SURREY (NEWS1130) – Police are now confirming the body found in a car near an elementary school in Surrey last night is that of a man who vanished over the weekend.
Vimal Chand, 29, is the victim of the city’s latest homicide. His body was found near Hyland Elementary.
Chand had been missing since Saturday.
“We received a call from a civilian in the neighbourhood that they had seen the car parked on the street for three or four days. When he approached the car, he found a male lying in the car,” describes Sergeant Joe Johal.
There is a tarp over a car at the scene. Corporal Bari Emam with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says it’s too early to say whether Chand was killed in the car or if his body was left there.
“The vehicle is all we have that we’re looking into. We have cordoned off the scene. We will do a ground search of the area to determine if there’s anything that’s related to the crime outside the vehicle.”
Emam tells us the body may have been there for days.

hi!,I really like your writing so much! percentage we keep in touch extra about your post on AOL? I require an expert on this area to unravel my problem. May be that is you! Having a look forward to look you.
then move
Please – this young man was someone’s son, someone’s grandson, someone’s brother, and maybe someone’s best friend, lover, husband. Have a little respect for the dead – and remember – there but for the grace of God, goes anyone of us.
I got to admit, when reading the comments, I utterly embarrassed to say I am for one a Canadian and another that I live in BC.
While Surrey does not have the best reputation, I would rather live there than anywhere these troll live.
This behaviour would not be tolerated by a 5 year old, that is how pathetic and immature some of you are behaving.

Hello all you Surrey bashers Surrey isn’t the only City dealing with Crime there has been Shootings and Stabbings all over the Metro area… I lived in this area for 11 years and two of my kids went to that School it is a Beautiful park like area and is a no through street and the sad part is that no parents noticed this suspicious car sitting there till last night. It’s sad that young kids had to walk past this car for days and who knows how many kids looked in the car as they went past it! Unless you live or have lived in Surrey you have no Right to bash it or say anything about the City……How about next time you consider a road trip East out of town maybe think twice because you do realize you have to drive through SURREY to get out of town!
uttering threats, extortion, weapons, assault with a weapon, confinement….sorry for the family but he may have just crossed the wrong person. Didn’t lead the nicest life as the court reg states.
keep em coming.. gang members don’t care about their own lives, why should anyone else?
I wanted to rant about the troll’s and ignorance.. however I would rather say I am sorry for the family’s Loss. I know his mother through work and the family is a good one.
Because “Johnny” thinks this is a “good” family, we should shed a tear,……….give me a break,should have been shot and p*ssed on in his own country,……….
“Johnny” only stated he was sorry for what the family is going through…which is what any decent person would do (ok, the Bacon family is an exception). As for his own country, where did you read that Chand was born elsewhere? Your post makes you out to be an insensitive racist…which is worse than a troll.
why do we allow this incivility in a civilized country.
