Murder Trials Begin in Canada Involving Indian Nationals in Separate Cases

Two separate murder trials involving Indian nationals are underway in British Columbia, Canada. Jagpreet Singh faces second-degree murder charges for stabbing his wife days after arriving on a visitor visa in March 2024, with the trial focusing on his state of mind. Meanwhile, three Indian-origin men—Gurkaran Singh, Abhijeet Singh, and Khushveer Singh Toor—are tried for the 2022 killing of an elderly couple, Arnold and Joanne De Jong, with prosecutors alleging financial motives. All accused have pleaded not guilty.
