    Ex-Boyfriend Gurjinder Dhaliwal To Be Sentenced Today For Gunning Down Surrey Teen Maple Batalia

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Mar, 2016 09:50 AM
      NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — A man who pleaded guilty to gunning down his ex-girlfriend on a British Columbia university campus is scheduled to be sentenced today.
       
       
       
       
       
      Twenty-four-year-old Gurjinder Dhaliwal pleaded guilty last week to the second-degree murder of 19-year-old Maple Batalia.
       
       
       
      The aspiring actress and model was shot to death in the parking lot of Simon Fraser University's Surrey campus following a late-night study session in September 2012.
       
      Second-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence, and both Crown and defence counsel say they have recommended Dhaliwal be ineligible for parole for 21 years.
       
      Dhaliwal's co-accused, Gursimar Bedi, faces charges of manslaughter and accessory to murder after the fact.
       
      Bedi's trial is also scheduled to begin today.
