Kulwinder Kaur Gill was walking along the side of a road in Abbotsford with her husband when she was hit by a truck and thrown into a ditch in 2009. The main convicted Gupreet Singh Atwal's lawyer says there will be a joint submission asking for a 21-year sentence. Kulwinder Gill's husband Iqbal Singh Gill was charged with first-degree murder. In November 2017, Iqbal Gill was sentenced to 17 years, and he was expected to serve about 10 years at that time after calculating time he already served.
ABBOTSFORD – The remaining four Indo-Canadian men charged in connection to the violent death of Kulwinder Kaur Gill pleaded guilty Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court to conspiracy to commit murder.
The main convicted Gurpreet Singh Atwal of Abbotsford will be sentenced in August for his part in the murder of a 42-year-old mother almost a decade ago.
Atwal's lawyer, James Heller, said he and a Crown prosecutor will make a joint submission on Aug. 27 asking for a 21-year sentence, minus time already served, which needs to be calculated, reported CBC News
Kulwinder Gill's husband Iqbal Singh Gill was charged with first-degree murder.
In 2013 the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) described the woman's death as "well planned."
Police told court that Gill flagged them down to show them the ditch where the mother of two was thrown by the force.
In November 2017 Gill was sentenced to 17 years, and he was expected to serve about 10 years at that time after calculating time he already served.
Three other men, including Atwal, were charged for taking part in the murder plot.
In 2015 and 2016, Jaspreet Singh Sohi and then Sukpal Singh Johal, both of Surrey, pleaded guilty to charges of being an accessory to murder.
They were both sentenced to time served plus one day.
