In a significant ruling, three Indian-origin men—Gurkaran Singh, Abhijeet Singh, and Khushveer Toor—were found guilty of first-degree murder by the British Columbia Supreme Court in Canada for the brutal killing of Arnold and Joanne De Jong in Abbotsford in May 2022. Justice Brenda Brown ruled that the trio played a willing and integral role in the couple's murder, which prosecutors argued was financially motivated. The victims were discovered dead in separate bedrooms, with Arnold's head and face wrapped in duct tape and Joanne found with blood around her. The accused, who all worked for a cleaning company owned by Abhijeet Singh, had initially pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors presented compelling circumstantial evidence, including DNA from the crime scene and a metal baseball bat found in the suspects' vehicle. Additionally, phone data showed Abhijeet Singh conducted internet searches related to murder punishments in Canada after the killings. Sentencing for the convicted men is set for May 28.
