Surrey BC RCMP are looking into the death of a five-year-old child and an aggravated assault on a 42-year old woman in Guildford.

Monday evening, officers responded to a report of a woman stabbed at a residence. The seriously injured woman was able to flee and call police; however, a 5-year-old remained inside the home.

The suspect, who is known to the victims, allegedly set a fire inside the residence and left the scene prior to police arrival. Surrey Fire Service extinguished the fire but the child was found deceased inside the home. The cause of death is still under investigation.

Hours later, Coquitlam RCMP received a report of a man jumping from the Port Mann Bridge. The man, who is presumed deceased, is believed to be the suspect in the stabbing and fire in Surrey. RCMP are conducting a search for the man in the Fraser River.

Police say the incident does not appear to be a random act.
