The lone occupant of the vehicle, who has been identified as 30-year-old Mandeep Kaur of Delta, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Early signs suggested the incident was suspicious, and the Delta Police Department’s major crime section took over the case.
On Nov. 6, Gurjot Singh Khaira, 24, also of Delta and the victim’s brother-in-law, was arrested. The next day, he was charged with indignity to human remains. He is being held in custody.
On Tuesday, prosecutors added a charge of second-degree murder. Khaira is due in court on Dec. 11 to face the charges.
With the investigation continuing and legal proceedings underway, police aren’t releasing any more information.
“The Delta Police Department extends its sincere condolences to the family of Mandeep Kaur during this difficult time,” said Staff Sgt. Mike Whiteley in a news release Wednesday.
