'Good-hearted people': Friend remembers father and son slain on Vancouver Island

The victims of a double homicide on Vancouver Island are being remembered as a loving and goofy father and son duo.

Tom Johnson and son, Brad Johnson, were found deceased in their home in Crofton, B.C. in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Justin James Dodd, 33, was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with two counts of second-degree murder.

A friend of the Johnsons, Terese Shearer, says Dodd was a friend of Brad's from high school, and that the Johnsons were helping him through a rough stretch in his life, though she admits she is uncertain on all the details.

She says the Johnsons had taken in Dodd for a couple of nights "just to help him get back on his feet."

"It's crazy to me that this guy came and got help from these two, and this is what they get," she told CTV News on Tuesday.

But, Shearer says she wants the community's focus to stay on the victims.

"They were such good-hearted people," said Shearer. "They would do anything for anybody, honestly."
