Third victim of alleged teen killers was a BC botany teacher

The man whose burned body was found near a burned-out pickup truck in northern BC has been identified as Leonard Dyck, a botany teacher and research associate at the University of British Columbia. Mr Dyck was identified two days after police released a composite sketch of the man in hope that someone would recognize him. “We are truly heartbroken by the sudden and tragic loss of Len. He was a loving husband and father. His death has created unthinkable grief and we are struggling to understand what has happened,” Dyck’s family said in a statement. Police continued to search for two strapping, 6 foot 4-inch teenagers in the bush of northern Manitoba. The two, Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky apparently burned their getaway vehicle, an old RAV4, and set out on foot in what is being called the “buggy, boggy and brutal” Manitoba bushland.
