The husband of Harpreet Kaur Gill has been sentenced in relation to the 2022 homicide.
On December 7, 2022, at 9:22 p.m. the Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing in the 12700-block of 66 Avenue, Surrey.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and worked closely with the Surrey RCMP.

Incidents of intimate partner violence have a profound effect on families and communities, says Sergeant Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. We’re thankful for the great work being done by Surrey RCMP Victim Services and the Ministry of Children and Family Development who continue to support the family and the community.
