Oak Bay Police officers were the first responders on Christmas day to an incident at an apartment complex not far from the Oak Bay Marina, at the cornerr of Beach and Goodwin. What they found at about 5pm was a grizzly scene. Two people dead and one injured. The injured person's condition is not known but they were taken to hospital.
Oak Bay Deputy Police Chief Ray Bernoties says foul play is suspected but adds there is no reason to believe the public is at risk. For now, that is all the department is saying as it has turned over the investigation to the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit or VIIMCU.
Residents in the area will notice the police tape at the building and the presence of officers as the investigation unfolds.
