Biring Boys: Indo-canadian Father-son Charged With Murder In Surrey Mcdonald’s Parking Lot Killing

IHIT confirms Daljeet Biring and Gurmail Biring have been charged with second-degree murder in the 2018 death of Lakhwinder Singh Bal.

VANCOUVER – An Indo-Canadian father and son have been charged with second-degree murder in connection to a 2018 homicide in Surrey.

On Friday, 73-year-old Gurmail Biring and his 42-year-old son Daljeet Biring were arrested and charged with second-degree murder in Lakhwinder Singh Bal’s death, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which had taken over the case.

On Tuesday, IHIT announced Daljeet Biring and Gurmail Biring were arrested and later charged by the B.C. Prosecution Service with second-degree murder in Bal’s death.

On Aug. 19 last year, officers found Bal collapsed in the parking lot of the McDonald’s on 96 Avenue and Prince Charles Boulevard while responding to several 911 calls of a fight at around 9 p.m.

Bal, 48, was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries and authorities later confirmed that he had died.

At the time of Bal’s death, investigators said the fatal fight broke out after a verbal disagreement.

Investigators say this was not a random incident and was not gang-related.

The two men appeared in provincial court on Monday.

“I am exceedingly proud of our investigators and policing partners for their tireless work on behalf of Mr. Lakhwinder Bal’s family and the wider community,” said Supt. Dave Chauhan, officer-in-charge of IHIT, in a news release

“IHIT will continue to support the prosecution as the investigation now transitions to the judicial process.”
