SURREY – A 39-year old Indo-Canadian man has now been charged in relation to an April 2024 homicide of an Indo-Canadian woman in Surrey.

On April 26, the Surrey RCMP were notified after a 33-year old woman, later identified as Pawitarpreet Kaur Sidhu was found deceased inside her home. Frontline officers along with Surrey RCMP support units attended and took control of the scene.  

On May 1, with the assistance of members of the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), 39-year old Hardeep Sidhu of Surrey was taken into custody in relation to the homicide and subsequently charged with second-degree murder.

Police did not clarify whether the victim and suspect are related as they both have the same last name.

Evidence located on scene resulted in the deployment of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), who have now taken conduct of the investigation, and continue to work closely in partnership with the Surrey RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section.

“This was an isolated incident between parties that were known to each other,” says Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. “We’re asking anyone with information or who had recent contact with the people involved, to contact IHIT immediately.”

IHIT is asking anyone with information regarding the investigation, to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
