Man Charged with Murder 8 Years After Body Found in B.C.: Police
Police say the eight-year investigation led to first-degree murder and obstruction charges against Miikael Tattoo King in Ian Roberts’s death.
- The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced that 45-year-old Miikael Tattoo King, formerly known as Michael Branden Anderson, has been charged with first-degree murder in the 2018 death of Ian Roberts.
- Police found the body of 43-year-old Roberts in a rural area of Pitt Meadows on April 30, 2018, hours after Langley RCMP recovered his red 1996 GMC Jimmy earlier that morning.
- Investigators believe this was a targeted incident involving parties who were known to each other, with a multi-year effort identifying Roberts' cause of death and the murder location.
- King is also facing one count of obstruction of justice in the case, though charges against him have not been tested in court and he is considered innocent until proven guilty.
- Sgt. said the investigation reached a "significant milestone," adding that police hope this development provides comfort to the victim's loved ones as the judicial process moves forward.
