A Singapore coroner’s court found on July 28 that Indian national Jasvinder Kaur had been murdered by her 35-year-old husband on Dec 11, 2013.
The headless body of Jasvinder, 33, was discovered floating in Whampoa River on the morning of Dec 12. Her corpse was wrapped in black trash bags with the legs exposed and the hands severed at the wrists, reports Straits Times.
Upset that his wife was making a long-distance call to a person unknown to him, Harvinder had punched her while they fought and then left her lying on the bed. He thought at first that she was unconscious and realised only later that she was dead, the report added.
Harvinder, a senior logistics coordinator, remains on the run, after believing to have fled to Malaysia the next morning.
His friend, fellow Indian national Gursharan Singh, 27, was jailed for 30 months in April for helping him to get rid of Jasvinder’s body.
Gursharan, a forklift driver, had helped Harvinder carry a bag from the latter’s residence at 228A Balestier Road to the canal near Mcnair Road, the report added.
Jasvinder’s Kaur’s employer told investigators that after the deceased failed to turn up for work as a beautician on Dec 11, Harvinder called to say that his wife was returning to India.
Harvinder fled to Malaysia the next morning. Investigations revealed that he later travelled back to India, where the authorities were unable to trace him. He is now on Interpol’s wanted list, according to the report in the Singapore newspaper.
The exact cause of Jasvinder’s death remains unknown as her head and hands were never found.
