4 found dead in Ottawa homicide


A man and three women were found dead (Wednesday) in Southeast Ottawa house which was found an obvious homicide. The Police officers found the bodies of a man and two women on Grandpark Circle, near Conroy Road right before 8 a.m. A fourth body belonging to a woman was found around 1:15 p.m.

Police added they are not ruling out a murder-suicide, and would not say if they are looking for any suspects. The owners of the home, Santbir Singh Brar, 44, and Amarjeet Brar, 46, are believed to be among the dead, as well as the couple's two daughters, who were both in their early 20s.

Police first visited the home around 2 a.m. after a call from a woman they described as a family member concerned about one of the house's occupants, police said. During the first visit, no one answered and police said they saw nothing suspicious, but when they returned to follow up later that morning, they saw something that prompted them to kick down the front door and enter the house.

Three police cruisers were parked in front of the detached brick house on a quiet residential street Wednesday afternoon as investigators and forensics experts entered and left. Neighbours told CBC reporters that a couple in their 40s or 50s and a younger female had lived in the house for about five years. They also said the family kept to themselves and few knew them, even though area residents described the street as a friendly place where neighbours speak to each other a lot, CBC Radio's Alistair Steele reported from the scene.

Land Registry Office documents show the house where the bodies were found was purchased in October 2002 by the Brars. A Santbir Brar is listed in the City of Ottawa directory as a garage supervisor with the fleet services branch. However, a city spokesman would not confirm whether he was the same man who owned the house, citing the police investigation.

In my opinion, this homicide is very cruel and killing 4 people is very hard. I hope that the police officers find the murderer and put him in a prison. I fell very sorry for this family and I think that this homicide is again, very cruel.
