Two charged with murder after body of missing mathematician found in Mission, B.C.
Two suspects known to the victim face first-degree murder charges after police found the remains of Masood Masjoody, whose disappearance sparked a multi-agency search.
- Investigators announced first-degree murder charges after Masood Masjoody's remains were found in Mission, B.C., and two people were arrested this week, police said.
- Masood Masjoody was reported missing on Feb. 2, prompting a police inquiry after Burnaby RCMP said concerned neighbours reported him missing and criminality was involved.
- Authorities identified the suspects as Mehdi Ahmadzadeh Razavi, 48, Maple Ridge resident, and Arezou Soltani, 45, North Vancouver resident, and said the victim and accused were known to each other.
- IHIT Sgt. Freda Fong said investigators reached the charge approval stage and the case has caused concern in the Iranian community.
- The court in its May 23, 2025 decision declared Masjoody a vexatious litigant after he filed seven civil suits and eight appeals, amid ongoing activism concerns, Nazanin Afshin-Jam MacKay said.
