From the photo it appears the van is owned by Devon Transport, LLC. According to Dun & Bradstreet "Devon Transport Ltd is located in Nanaimo, BC, Canada and is part of the Automotive Equipment Rental and Leasing Industry. Devon Transport Ltd has 402 total employees across all of its locations and generates $36.06 million in sales (USD)."
1. Was the van reported stolen?
2. Who rented it?
3. From where was it rented?

For those confused about "Dufferin, Canada", this is the Dufferin neighbourhood of Kamloops, BC, and not one of the over 50 other towns, townships, and neighbourhoods named Dufferin in Canada.

In addition to his courtroom skills as a litigator and his negotiation skills as a mediator, Butch is also a trained and qualified arbitrator. He applies his knowledge of the law to resolve matters in a fair and inexpensive manner.

Butch continually promotes alternative means of resolving disputes to all his clients because he passionately believes that many disputes can be effectively resolved outside of the court system. Arbitration is one of the many options that Bagabuyo & Company can provide.

If guilty of the alleged crime, I suppose this was one of Bagabuyo's "alternative means of resolving disputes". :confused: MOO

Baird explained that police felt it was essential to identify Abdullah in order to further the investigation and “capture all evidence” as quickly as possible. [snip] “Mohd usually travelled by foot or took public transit,” Baird noted. “We are releasing two images of Mohd getting off a bus in the downtown area on Friday, March 11.” Investigators are seeking witnesses who may have seen Abdullah...

Was he in the plastic bin IN the car? I'm confused.

Wow, there does seem to be a lot of homicides and missing people in Kamloops for such a small town.....
I think it's Canada's equivalent of Bellingham, WA.

Yes, it appears so. Perhaps the accused had unsuccessful intentions of transporting the body and burying or hiding it without leaving a trace.

“Abdullah, 60, was reported missing on March 14 when he didn't show up for work. His body was later found in a vehicle by police…

….While police continue to investigate, a local Kamloops lawyer has been charged with interfering with a dead body, after allegedly storing Abdullah's body in a plastic bin…..”

This case is semi-local to me, following.
This is so strange, when you think of a homicide with attempt to conceal a body, you wouldn't think a university professor and a lawyer would be involved!

The linked article showed that it posted on Wednesday and referenced a delay in a hearing until Wednesday. Is that next Wednesday, or was it this week? Sorry if that's a stupid question.

This is such an odd collection of news stories. What happened here? Was Mohd the victim of a random attack? Was there an existing relationship? How was the lawyer identified?

All I know was the bail hearing finished today, and somehow, this guy was granted bail o_O I'm not sure when his next court date is.
edit - this article states he will return to court in April.
