A man who killed his ex-wife’s cousin will spend life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years, a judge decided on Thursday at Saskatoon’s Court of King’s Bench.
Justice Richard Danyliuk found Ranbir Dhull, 45, guilty of second-degree murder.
Dhull strangled 23-year-old Samandeep Jhinger, while his two children were home, court heard.
Jhinger’s body was found in the basement of a Warman home on July 3, 2020, with a pair of pants and scarf wrapped around her neck.
“Mr. Dhull has a tendency to solve his domestic issues through intimidation, through domination and through actual violence,” Danyliuk said.
“It is senseless, stupid. It is wrong. Miss. Jhinger’s life was snuffed out and it was just beginning.”
During the sentencing decision, the judge drew attention to Saskatchewan’s high rate of domestic violence.
