A young Richmond man already facing a kidnapping charge in connection with a bizarre abduction case has now been charged with first-degree murder.
Tian Yi Zhang, 23, and three others were arrested after the body of Chinese national Peng Sun, 22, was found on a quiet North Vancouver street in North Vancouver last month.
But while the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was in charge of the case, Zhang and co-accused Casey James Hiscoe, 21, were only charged with kidnapping.
The other two arrested, Dyllan James Green, 20, and Jacob Michael Gorelik,18, were only charged with interfering with a body. Both were released on $5,000 bail.
Now Zhang is charged with murder. He made a brief court appearance on the new count in North Vancouver Tuesday and has been remanded in custody.
All four were arrested around 3 a.m. Sept. 29 in the 900-block of Wellington Drive, North Vancouver.
Neighbours told the Sun at the time they believed the dead man was inside a white Bentley that was towed from the scene, along with two other vehicles.
