Hundreds of mourners took part in a candlelight vigil Sunday night for a young woman who was found dead at a Halifax Walmart last month.
The vigil for 19-year-old Gursimran Kaur was held in the parking lot of the Walmart on Mumford Road.
People stood in line to light candles and to pay their respects to Kaur, whose body was found inside a large walk-in oven in the store’s bakery department on Oct. 19.
“She was always excited, she was discussing a lot of ideas of what she wanted to do once she graduated from school, or something like that. So yeah, I think about her, it’s too hard for me to think that she is no more,” said Astik Singh Chouhan, a family friend.
Walmart has released a statement on the vigil saying it has been an “incredibly tragic and difficult time.”
