The life should mean life, The Canadian law is an absolute joke If someone kill someone, give him or her not life give them Executioner and let them fell death for killing someone. Within two weeks in 2006, three NRI women have been killed due to social and criminal problem in our NRI community. Only 10-15 years jail for murder cases, will encourage more murders.

The time is right for a major debate on the general principles of sentencing. There is currently a great deal of media and public interest in criminal re offending and the sentences imposed by courts. There are significant pressures on sentencers to ensure that justice is done and seen to be done. The public expects that dangerous and violent offenders should receive custodial sentences.

Tough on crime tough on the causes of crime


NRI Jatinder Waraich sentenced 10 years in jail for stabbing his wife to death

NRI Jatinder Waraich was sentenced mandatory minimum of 10 years in jail for stabbing his wife Navreet to death in their Surrey home in 2006. He has already been in jail for two years, which could reduce the remaining term without parole eligibility to as little as eight more years.

He was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury and delivered its verdict 24 hours after it began deliberations. The maximum penalty for second-degree murder is 25 years without parole.

The defence argued in its closing that Waraich should only be found guilty of manslaughter because he was provoked to the point that an ordinary person would lose the power of self-control. Defence lawyer Russell Chamberlain told the court: "Every man's death diminishes everybody and this woman's death diminishes mankind as a whole."

Waraich testified:

  • He remembered stabbing her once in the stomach in a rage after she threatened to take their son to India and to teach him to spit on him and his family.
  • He was provoked by his wife's insults and remembers stabbing her once in the stomach with a kitchen knife before blacking out. She threatened to take their son to India and to teach him to spit on him and his family.
  • Navreet repeatedly threatening to leave him


Dilbag Singh Gill, father of Navreet Kaur Waraich wept loudly while reading a victim-impact statement. Gill said "We were not believing. God only knows the grief that we felt. We will cry forever that our daughter will never come back"

Three NRI women have been killed within two weeks due to social and criminal problem in our NRI community.

Surrey resident, Navreet Kaur Waraich, 27, had been stabbed to death by her husband in basement of Newton county. Her husband Jatinder Waraich, cab driver was arrested.

Shalinder Basran, who rented her basement to Navreet Waraich said that she pleaded "please save me" as she lay dying on the floor.

Basran saw a knife in the hand of Waraich's husband, Jatinder Waraich, the woman hustled him outside the suite as Basran's daughter Tajinder dialled 911.

They have four month old baby. Navreet was calling her family in India every week that she had been mistreated by her husband. Her father, Dilbag Gill in Amritsar, India said that he wants to come to Canada to deal with his daughter's funeral and also look after her son.

RCMP Cpl. Roger Morrow said police were called to Waraich's rented home in the 7000-block of 123 B Street about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The RCMP said the case is one of domestic violence and that the victim succumbed to multiple stab wound about 39 times.

Attorney General Wally Oppal said some within the Indo-Canadian community are so concerned about public reputation that they don't want to get help when there is a problem. He is extremely concerned about the recent violence in his community. "Let's just solve it within the house. Let's not get anyone else involved," Oppal said, describing a common attitude. "Our temples have to get involved in this."

Last week, NRI Manjit Phangali was murdered and her burned body was found near Airport. Police is still investigating this case.

Maninder Singh Gill, Radio owner put up a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Panghali murder.

On Oct. 19, Gurjeet Kaur Ghuman, 40, was shot in the face by her husband Paramjit Ghuman and later shot himself.

A founder of the India Mahila Association, Raminder Dosanjh said the three cases demand a community
