KAMLOOPS — RCMP say a bloody rug turned in to the Barriere RCMP detachment is related to the murder of a Kamloops-area man.

In a news release issued Monday (April 3), RCMP say the man who was killed is local resident Peter Daniel Casimir. RCMP do not divulge any details as to when or if Casimir’s body was found.

“The murder of Mr. Casimir was targeted and that no danger to the public exists,” said Staff Sgt. Jason Smart, head of the RCMP’s Southeast District Major Crime Unit, who has taken over the investigation.

Investigators now want to catch up with anyone who has dealing with Casimir this year, particularly last month. They want to determine his movements and who he had contact with.
