Second-degree murder charges have been laid against 39-year-old Sukhvir Badhesa in early Sunday morning homicide in Surrey that involved 61-year-old woman.

Police say early indications suggest the death followed an altercation between a male and females in the residence.
Police also found 35-year-old woman with non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.
Neighbours told media that Badhesa, his wife along with his mother and the couple’s two girls, lived at the house.
“It’s a sad day for our neighbourhood,” says one woman, noting it was “heartbreaking” to watch police take the children away.
IHIT is now investigating the case.
