A Surrey man is looking for answers after being told that his sister was murdered in Holland while she prepared to start a new life in B.C.
Thirty-nine-year-old Kamaljit Kaur and her three children, aged 14, 12 and five, had recently relocated from Holland to join the rest of their family in Surrey.
Kaur, who recently returned to The Hague to take care of personal business, was murdered last week, her brother Aman Grewal told The Sun.
Grewal expected his sister back in Canada on Jan. 31, but she didn’t return.
He said he contacted Dutch authorities after trying to reach her without success for two days.
“[Dutch police] broke the news to me,” he said, adding they told him his sister was found in her home murdered, but they wouldn’t say how.
Right now, Kaur’s family has more questions than answers, Grewal said, adding that Kaur’s three children — a girl and two boys — are with him in Surrey. “The [two] older ones know,” he said. The five-year-old doesn’t understand what’s happening.
“Who did it? Why?” Grewal asked. “We’ve all sat down and gone over a million different scenarios and we can’t come up with an answer.”
Kaur had lived in Holland for several years. After getting divorced, she decided to move to Canada with the kids to be with her siblings and mother, who also lives in Surrey.
Grewal said Kaur and her ex-husband, Balwinder Dhillon, had a history of domestic problems, but Dhillon isn’t a suspect in the murder because he’s in jail in Holland in connection with an earlier altercation with Kaur.
“They had some sort of dispute ... in August,” Grewal said. He said the full story never came out, but he doesn’t think Dhillon had anything to do with Kaur’s murder.
Grewal said he spoke with local police Sunday morning and was told they will help with local questioning and liaise with Dutch authorities.
Grewal said he’s looking into private counselling for his sister’s children.
“First things first,” he said, adding the priority is to get Kaur’s body back and figure out what happened.
The family wants to “give her the funeral she deserves,” he said, but it’s not known how long it will take to get her remains back to B.C.
