The fourth suspect in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 22-year old Amandeep Singh, appeared via telephone due to technical difficulties for his first court appearance at Surrey Provincial Court Tuesday.
Singh has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, as announced by the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Saturday afternoon.
The 22-year-old was already in custody in Ontario for unrelated firearms charges, according to IHIT.
Dozens of supporters for Sikh activist Nijjar held signs outside the Surrey courthouse condemning the men charged in connection to the killing.
Avneet Kaur was one of them, and says Nijjar was “like a father” to her.
“He was a very important part of our community and this is the least we can do to show up for him and our community here.”
Kaur adds there are “mixed feelings” in the community, but that their voices will not be silenced.
