On Monday, Peel’s Homicide Bureau identified the man responsible for the fatal shooting as 30-year-old Dharam Singh Dhaliwal, who is wanted for first-degree murder.
Police said Dhaliwal intentionally went missing in September 2022, but an investigation determined that this was part of a plan in the murder of Kaur.
Dharam is described as five feet eight inches tall and around 170 pounds. He has a tattoo on his left hand.
Police said Dhaliwal, who has ties to Ontario, New Brunswick, Winnipeg and Vancouver, should be considered armed and dangerous.
Family members charged with assisting wanted man
Peel police also announced that two family members were charged in the woman’s death.
Authorities said Pritpal Dhaliwal, a 25-year-old man, and 50-year-old Amarjit Dhaliwal, were arrested in Moncton, NB.
The two relatives were charged with accessory to murder after the fact. Investigators added that anyone found assisting or harbouring Dharam Dhaliwal will face charges.
“Your actions have already caused members of your own family to face criminal charges,” said Peel Regional Police Det.- Sgt. Davis Baxter, who urged Dharam Dhaliwal to turn himself in.
