A suspect has been charged in a homicide investigation in the Ambleside area of West Vancouver.
On December 13, 2024 just after 1:00 a.m., the West Vancouver Police Department (WVPD) responded to a request to check the well-being of a 911 caller in the Ambleside District. Upon arrival, the police located a deceased woman with injuries that appeared to be suspicious. A suspect was identified on the scene and taken into custody.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) investigated along with WVPD, the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS), and the BC Coroners Service. On December 13, 2024, the BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) laid a charge of second-degree murder against 39-year-old Michael Dean Boretsky concerning this investigation.
“We believe that this was a tragic incident of family violence. As the parties were known to one another, investigators believe this to be an isolated event,” says Corporal Esther Tupper of IHIT. “IHIT would like to thank WVPD, IFIS and the BC Coroners Service for their assistance in advancing this investigation.”
IHIT is asking anyone with information about this incident to contact the IHIT directly at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
