Days after the alleged killer Harjot Singh Deo's mother Manjit Kaur Deo was charged with helping her son in the aftermath of the crime, another person Inderdeep Kaur Deo, 24, has been charged with “accessory to murder after the fact” in Bhavkiran (Kiran) Dhesi's homicide.
19-year-old Dhesi's body was found in a burning SUV on 24th Avenue almost two years ago.
Last December, police found an Audi Q7 they believed to be connected to the crime. Officers were also searching for a dark grey Dodge Ram.

Accessory after the fact carries a maximum life sentence if convicted.
The charge comes barely weeks after police announced a second-degree murder charge had been laid against Deo's son, 21-year-old Harjot Singh Deo, who was Dhesi's boyfriend.
In a news conference, Supt. Donna Richardson, said Harjot Deo was in a romantic relationship with Dhesi and was arrested by police when he landed at Vancouver's airport on May 10.
Harjot Deo is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Surrey on May 27. Inderdeep Deo is due to appear in court on May 30, while Manjit Deo’s next court appearance is set for June 6.
