  • Former boyfriend of Surrey teen Kiran Dhesi pleads guilty to her murder

The ex-boyfriend who murdered 19 year old Bhavkiran "Kiran" Dhesi in 2017 has pled guilty to manslaughter with a firearm and indignity to human remains Tuesday. Harjot Singh Deo will be sentenced later this month.

On August 2, 2017 just after 12:20 a.m. the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle fire in the 18700-block of 24 Avenue. When police arrived, the Surrey Fire Department had extinguished the flames. Inside the vehicle was a deceased female body that had sustained injuries consistent with homicide. 

The female victim was identified as Bhavkiran (Kiran) Dhesi, 19 of Surrey. Miss Dhesi was last seen leaving the family home on Tuesday August 1,2017 at 9 p.m. 

Miss Dhesi was a college student, and had recently recovered from a kidney transplant. This death was a crushing blow to Miss Dhesi’s family. 

Known to friends as Kiran, the 19-year-old was a student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and had been on kidney dialysis since the 9th grade.

She recently underwent a successful kidney transplant and had recovered. 

Two men were arrested and charged in connection with the 2017 homicide of Bhavkiran Dhesi in Surrey.

On June 21, 2019, 25-year-old Gurvinder Deo and 22-year-old Talwinder Khun Khun were arrested by IHIT investigators and charged by the B.C.

In December 2018, police found an Audi Q7 they believed to be connected to the crime. Officers were also searching for a dark grey Dodge Ram.

Deo was in a romantic relationship with Dhesi and was arrested by police when he landed at Vancouver's airport on May 10.

Two members of Harjot's family – his older sister, Inderdeep Deo, and his mother, Majit Kaur Deo – have also been charged in the case.

Both are accused of having assisted Harjot in his alleged bid to escape justice.

Prosecution Service for accessory after the fact to murder, and indecently interfere with or offer an indignity to human remains.

In all, 4 of Deo’s family members were charged in connection to Dhesi’s killing.

His sister, brother, and a member of Deo’s extended family, were been charged with accessory after the fact to murder and indignity to human remains.
