Surrey: On Sunday March 26, 2017 just after 6:00 a.m. the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing in the 17000 block of 57th Avenue. When police arrived, a male victim was located inside the residence suffering wounds received from an edged weapon. The male victim was transported to hospital, but despite all medical efforts the male victim died as a result of his injuries. A male suspect was located at the scene by police, and was taken into custody.
As this was quickly deemed a homicide, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken conduct. IHIT is working closely with the Surrey RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Section, and the B.C. Coroner’s Service to gather and review evidence.
The investigation remains on-going, however, investigators have secured a homicide related charge against the male suspect, identified as 27-year-old Gurtarn “Tarn” SANDHU. Mr. Sandhu has been charged with Manslaughter in the death of the male victim identified as 36-year-old, Jaspreet “Jesse” DHALIWAL. Mr. Sandhu is scheduled to appear in court later this afternoon.
“This altercation occurred between parties known to each other, and was not random.” Cpl. Meghan FOSTER of IHIT says, “This matter is now before the courts, and limited information can be provided as the court process will be honoured.”
