🔹Netflix filming series based on Victoria’s 1997 Reena Virk murder🔹

The 1997 murder of Saanich teenager Reena Virk will be the central theme of a new series from streaming service Netflix.

According to former Saanich Police constable Chris Horsley, who discovered Virk’s body in the Gorge Waterway near a bridge connecting Saanich with Esquimalt and View Royal, the series will be loosely based off a book by Rebecca Godfrey called Under the Bridge.

Horsley dropped the news of the upcoming series during an episode of the Victoria City Police Union podcast called True Blue.

Virk was murdered by teenagers during a get together along the shores of the Gorge Waterway. Wikipedia states:

“While at the bridge, it is claimed that teenagers drank alcohol and smoked marijuana as Virk stood among them. Virk was swarmed by a group later called the Shoreline Six.“

People can do whatever they want of course. Godfrey has been dead for a few years (and lived on the Atlantic coast when it happened) and Horsley is a jerk.

Good on them.

Perhaps they deserve one another.
