Police, family ask for clues in finding 13-year-old B.C. girl’s killer
BURNABY, B.C. — One year after 13-year-old Marrisa Shen was murdered in Burnaby, B.C., police insist they haven’t given up on the case and her family is pleading for the public’s help finding her killer.
Cpl. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team stood near the wooded area of Central Park where Shen’s body was found and read a statement from her family on Wednesday.
“Marrisa was only 13 years old when her life was taken. It is difficult to express in words the pain of losing her in this terrible way,” the statement said.
“We were supposed to see her grow up but instead, we have been deprived of the joy of having her in our lives and we are left with thoughts of what could have been of Marrisa’s life.”
