33-year-old Alberta man charged in double homicide in Langley: IHIT

LANGLEY – Homicide investigators now say a 33-year-old Alberta man has been formally charged in the murders of two people found deceased at a home on 16 Avenue in Langley last week.

Last Monday, Apr. 27, at about 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.

Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesperson Sgt. Freda Fong says the two victims were an 18-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man who lived together at the residence on 16 Avenue. She says police won’t be releasing their names at this point out of respect for their families’ privacy, and it is not needed to advance the investigation.

Sgt. Fong says IHIT investigators conducted n extensive neighbourhood canvass, interviewed several witnesses and pursued several leads from the public.

As a result, a 33-year-old suspect was identified and arrested on Sunday, May 3 in connection with the murders. Today, 33-year-old Cregg Lafferty-Tuccaro of Alberta was charged with the second-degree murders of the two victims. Lafferty-Tuccaro had no prior police history in B.C., and investigators believe this to be an isolated incident where parties were known to each other. Lafferty-Tuccaro has been detained by the court and is next scheduled to appear on Monday, 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.”
