NRI Jattan's body found near school in Surry

Surry, November 13, 2006

On November 7th, 2006 at 0809 hours, Surrey Detachment received a report of a found body at the rear of Creekside Elementary School located at 13838 - 91st Avenue, Surrey BC. The victim has been identified as Elvan Prakash JATTAN, 23 yrs old of Surrey, B.C.

The deceased was situated at the rear of the school near the playground equipment. Students on their way to school noticed the body and reported it to the School staff. Surrey Detachment General Duty members attended the school immediately. The school was locked down and secured.

The Detachment Serious Crime Unit were contacted and initiated enquiries. Foul play was apparent so conduct of the investigation was turned over to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Due to the fact the crime scene was situated within a school property, IHIT dispatched two investigative teams to respond and initiate enquiries.

He had been charged with a drug-trafficking offence in Surrey two years ago that was stayed this past March.

Police are not saying whether they believe Elvan "Alvin" Prakash Jattan, 23, fell victim to a random or targeted attack. Jattan lived a stone's throw from where his body was found. He'd gone missing the night before after taking out the trash.

Jattan's friends described him as a nice guy who kept to himself.

Police are not revealing how he died.
