Harpreet Singh gets 10 years in tripple stabbing

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Oct, 2024 12:41 PM
  • Harpreet Singh gets 10 years in tripple stabbing

A Metro Vancouver man will spend up to four years in prison before he is deported after pleading guilty to a triple stabbing that left his sister-in-law dead and two others, including a two-year-old girl, seriously injured in October 2020.

Harpreet Singh has been sentenced to 10 years in prison -- minus the six-years in credit for time already served in custody -- for manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault following the knife attack at a Surrey townhouse.

Singh's trial in B-C Supreme Court heard that the 39-year-old stabbed his sister-in-law, Baljit Kaur, with a kitchen knife following a family argument.

Kaur was holding a toddler in her arms during the attack, and the child suffered cuts to her lower body.
