Ontario man charged in possible honour killing

by Scott Gilbreath ~ January 7th, 2009

Kamikar Singh Dhillon of Mississauga has been charged with murder in the New Years Day stabbing death of his daughter-in-law, Amandeep Kaur Dhillon. The Toronto Sun cites unnamed “sources” suggesting it could be a honour killing. The family involved are Sikhs.

A Mississauga man is facing first-degree murder charges in what sources say could be the “honour murder” of his daughter-in-law who was killed in a Malton grocery store on New Year’s Day.
[…]
Amandeep Kaur Dhillon, 22, was found stabbed to death in the basement of Airport Foods at Derry and Airport Rds. at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Peel Region’s first murder of 2009.

The dead woman worked for her father-in-law at a family-run grocery store. She has a 22-month-old son being raised by her maternal grandparents in Punjab, India.

Also today, the preliminary hearing begins in the homicide of Aqsa Parvez, who is also believed to have been the victim in an honour killing. Her father and brother are charged with murder.

    How could this be related to honour killing; there must have been money or sexual motive to this homicide….being a sikh female myself…I don’t think this homicide has anything to do with honour…

    it’s all about the money,,, no honour killings,,,people like these don’t have honour. where’s the husband, haven’t seen him anywhere. if it was honour killing what about husband’s honour. Kamikar must have thought the police and people going to believe his story.. how did he come to canada, why did he divorce his wife in india…IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY.
