A 40-year-old Sikh woman has died in Canada after she was stabbed multiple times at her home in Surrey, British Columbia, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said. Police said they found Harpreet Kaur suffering from multiple and life-threatening stab wounds at a home in the 12700-block of 66 Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, CBC News reported. Kaur’s husband was considered a suspect but has since been released. She was taken to the hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Capt. Timothy Pierotti of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in a statement to the media that investigators are working around the clock to solve the case. “These incidents have a significant impact, not only on the victim’s family and friends, but on the entire community,” Pierotti told CBC News. Hinting that it could be a case of domestic violence, Pierotti said “anytime there’s an allegation of domestic violence, the police take it very seriously.” Police said they are revealing Kaur’s identity, which will help them in their investigation. The incident comes days after 21-year-old Pawanpreet Kaur, another Canadian-Sikh woman, was killed outside a gas station in Mississauga on December 3. Last month, 18-year-old Sikh teenager Mehakpreet Sethi was stabbed to death in the parking lot of a high school in Surrey. IANS
