Name: Jagtar Gill.
Died: January 29, 2014.
Age at death: 43.
Cause of death: Traumatic injury.

Disability: Crohn’s disease.
Details:
Jagtar was an immigrant from India to Canada, and she had met her husband as part of an arranged marriage.
But Jagtar’s husband had fallen in love with another woman; so the two conspired to get rid of Jagtar.
They saw their chance when Jagtar had just returned from hernia surgery and was weak and drugged from painkillers; this made her very vulnerable. So while her husband went to run errands with their daughter to establish an alibi, his girlfriend beat and stabbed Jagtar to death.
Case status:
Bhupinderpal Gill (Husband), convicted of first-degree murder, sentenced to 25 years to life.
Gulpreet Ronald (Husband’s girlfriend), convicted of first-degree murder, sentenced to 25 years to life.
