Lyle Murray Fraser, 71, was sentenced Monday for a pedestrian-involved hit-and-run on Gilley Avenue more than five years ago.
Burnaby RCMP had to go undercover to get proof that retired Burnaby machine operator Lyle Murray Fraser was driving his car the day it hit Nedzad Hadzismajlovic and changed his life forever, according to information presented at a sentencing hearing Monday.
Fraser had originally been charged with the more serious criminal offence of failing to the stop at the scene of an accident involving bodily harm but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge as part of a plea deal.Undercover operation Using paint chips and debris from the accident scene, police quickly located the vehicle involved parked behind Fraser's house, just 550 metres away from the accident scene.
"The RCMP subsequently initiated an undercover operation to identify the driver of the motor vehicle, which struck Mr. Hadzismajlovic in March 2018," said Crown prosecutor Jim Cryder, reading out a statement of agreed facts. "Three years later, in April 2021, the RCMP interviewed a friend of Mr. Fraser's who confirmed that Mr. Fraser left the residence on the night of March 4, 2018, was driving the red Toyota and confessed to them that he had hit something driving home.
