No remorse shown by killer of wife, gets life term.

Maninderpreet Singh has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the second-degree murder of his wife, Manpreet Kaur. The sentencing comes two years after the crime, with Singh showing no remorse and portraying himself as the victim, according to a forensic psychiatrist. Kaur, also 25, suffered months of escalating abuse culminating in a violent attack on April 21, 2024, a fact that led to Singh's guilty plea last October.

Court of King's Bench Justice Melanie Gaston imposed a 15-year parole ineligibility period. Gaston emphasized Kaur's vulnerability as a newcomer to Canada, noting her isolation and terror. The marriage was described as filled with conflict and domestic violence. Singh, an Indian national without legal status in Canada, is slated for deportation following his prison term.

Evidence presented detailed extensive injuries to Kaur, including defensive wounds and strangulation as the fatal cause. Singh's defense argued his suicide attempt after his arrest, where he jumped from a building, indicated remorse, though prosecution highlighted his continued lack of remorse in pre-sentence reports.
