Two more men have been arrested and charged in connection with the killingof Surrey teen Bhavkiran Dhesi.

Gurvinder Deo, 24, and Talwinder Khun Khun, 22,were arrested byinvestigators from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Friday.

RCMP confirmed that Gurvinder Deo is Harjot Singh Deo's brother and Talwinder Khun Khun is an extended family member, but police would not give details on how they're related.

They face charges foraccessory after the fact to murder, and indecently interfering withhuman remains.

Dhesi, 19, was found dead in a burned-out SUV in Surrey on Aug. 2, 2017. Investigators said she had injuries consistent with homicide.

Dhesi, a student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, wasn't known to police and her death isn't believed to be gang-related, according to IHIT.

With the latest arrests, a total of five members of the same family have now been charged in connection to Dhesi's death.

Her former boyfriend, Harjot Singh Deo, was charged earlier this year with second-degree murder.

He also now faces an additional charge of indecent interference with a dead body.

Deo's motherManjit Kaur Deo, 53, was chargedas an accessory after the fact of murder, which would meanshe knew about her son's alleged crime and helped enable anescape.

His sister,InderdeepKaur Deo, 23, faces the same charges as accessory after the fact.

IHIT is continuing to investigate. "We know that there are still people out there with important information," saidCpl. David Lee of IHIT.

"We urge those people to come forward."
