Police discover bodies of a man and woman inside a burning vehicle on Nov. 25
The New Brunswick RCMP’s Major Crime Unit (MCU) has released the names of the victims connected to its ongoing double homicide investigation in Chipman, N.B.
The RCMP said it has positively identified the victims as 47-year-old Robert Waugh and 23-year-old Victoria King, noting both are from the Fredericton area.
The River Valley Sun previously confirmed that Waugh has ties the Nackawic area and King to the Sheffield area.
The RCMP discovered the bodies on Nov. 25, 2024, at approximately 8 a.m., when members of the Chipman detachment responded to a report of a vehicle on fire with two individuals inside off Midland Road in Chipman.
Police said the responding officers located the bodies inside a white Chevrolet Equinox that had been consumed by fire. Early in the investigation, police determined the deaths as homicides.
On Dec. 11, the RCMP released a grainy photo of a Toyota Corolla that they described as a vehicle of interest in the Major Crime Unit’s investigation.
As it continues to investigate the homicides, the Major Crime Unit is asking that anyone with information that could help further the investigation or who was travelling in the Chipman area the night of Nov. 24 or the morning of Nov. 25 to contact the Major Crime Unit at 1-888-506-RCMP (7267).
