The RCMP say a Calgary man and B.C. woman have been attacked and killed after stopping on the side of a highway just west of Creston, B.C.
Police say the victims were found at around 7 p.m. Wednesday just a few kilometres outside Creston at a pullout on Highway 3 in southeast B.C.
Both had been stabbed and police say the suspect is reported to have fled in a vehicle belonging to one of the victims.
A statement from the Mounties says a 40 year old Calgary man was pronounced dead at the scene and a 25 year old West Kootenay woman was rushed to hospital but could not be revived.
The stolen vehicle was found near Salmo, about 80kilometres away, but police say the suspect has not been located.
Staff Sgt. Scott Aschenbrenner, commander of the Southeast District Major Crime Unit, says it's believed the suspect and victims knew each other, but names have not been released.
