A fourth suspect has been charged for their role in the homicide of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey last June.
On Saturday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) arrested 22-year-old Amandeep Singh.
Singh was already in custody for unrelated firearms charges out of Peel Regional Police in Ontario.
“IHIT pursued the evidence and gained sufficient information for the BC Prosecution Service to charge Amandeep Singh with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder,” states a news release.
“Amandeep Singh is an Indian national and resided in Brampton, Surrey and Abbotsford.”
On May 3, 2024, police arrested 22-year-old Karan Brar, 22-year-old Kamalpreet Singh and 28-year-old Karanpreet Singh for the murder of Nijjar.
All three individuals are Indian nationals living in Edmonton and have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
“This arrest shows the nature of our ongoing investigation to hold responsible those that played a role in the homicide of Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” said Supt. Mandeep Mooker, the officer in charge of IHIT.
On June 18, 2023, the Surrey RCMP responded to a shooting at a Gurdwara in Surrey, where they found Nijjar suffering from fatal gunshot wounds inside a vehicle.
