INDERJIT Singh Sandhu was sentenced to life in prison without parole eligibility for 13 years on July 2 for the 2022 murder of his wife, Kamaljit Kaur Sandhu of Abbotsford.

On April 19, Sandhu had appeared in Abbotsford Supreme Court, where he entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder.

On July 28, 2022, the Abbotsford Police Department received a call of an assault at a residence in the 2900-block of Eastview Street. First responders attended the scene and located a 45-year-old woman, later identified as Kamaljit Kaur Sandhu, suffering from life-threatening injuries.  Despite the best efforts of the responding officers and paramedics, she later succumbed to her injuries.

Her husband, Inderjit Singh Sandhu, 48, was located on scene and taken into custody in relation to the homicide. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and continued to work closely in partnership with Abbotsford Police and the BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.

A GoFundMe Page that was set up for Kamaljit Sandhu noted: “On July 28, 2022, we lost one of the most caring, loving, kind and strong women I have met. I was privileged to work alongside Kam for the last year [and] a half at the Seven Oaks Branch of RBC. One of our expert front-line advisors, she led with care and empathy with all of our clients and patiently worked with the staff, helping to teach and mentor individuals. She was funny, sweet, and went out of her way to make you feel good about yourself and what was going on in your world. Her passing is a tragedy. Kam leaves behind two children.”
