Police believe an 80-year-old man whose body was found in a shed in Abbotsford over the weekend may have been murdered.

The senior, identified Wednesday as Nirmal Bains, was discovered on a large rural property on Huntington Road between the Abbotsford Airport and the U.S. border on May 5, hours after he failed to return from his regular morning walk.

Detectives and forensic experts at the scene determined the death was suspicious, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called to handle the case.

Few other details have been confirmed. Anyone with information of Bains's death is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT.
