Police identified the victims as Richard Beck, 54, and Karen Louise Beck, 52, both residents of Maple Ridge.
The RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team continues to investigate the incident as a double homicide, spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr said in a press release Friday.
The Maple Ridge Fire Department was called to a house fire in the 12400 block of 263 Street. The Becks were found inside the home and were taken by ambulance to hospital, where both were pronounced dead.
The cause of their deaths has not been released.
