Suspect charged with murder in Kiran Dhesi's homicide granted bail
Harjot Singh Deo, 21, has had bail set at $750K with conditions that amount to house arrest
The man charged with second-degree murder in the homicide of 19-year-old Bhavkiran (Kiran) Dhesi has been granted bail.
Dan McLaughlin with the BC Prosecution Service said Harjot Singh Deo was granted $750,000 surety bail with a deposit of $50,000. McLaughlin said his conditions amount to house arrest.
Harjot Singh Deo, 21, was in a romantic relationship with Dhesi when she was killed over a-year-and-a-half ago. He was arrested at Vancouver International Airport earlier this year.
Dhesi's body was discovered inside a burned-out SUV in Surrey, B.C., on Aug. 2, 2017. Police say she sustained injuries that were consistent with a homicide.
Four other members of Deo's family have been charged in connection to Dhesi's death. They include Deo's mother, sister, brother and a fourth extended family member.
All the accused are set to appear in court again on Nov. 13.
