Surrey man accused of murdering wife faces court application to freeze his assets

A B.C. man who is accused of murdering his wife is facing a court application to temporarily freeze his assets.

In December, Navinder Singh Gill, 40, was charged with the second-degree murder of his wife, Harpreet Kaur Gill, 40. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team worked on the case with support from Surrey RCMP.

The mother of three young children was stabbed while in the family home in the 12700-block of 66th Avenue in Surrey on the night of Dec. 7. She died of her injuries after being taken to a local hospital, according to police.

Navinder Gill was initially arrested Dec. 7 but released from custody and then rearrested Dec. 15 and charged with murder the following day.

The accused remains in custody, according to the civil lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court by the Public Guardian and Trustee of B.C., an organization which protects the interests of British Columbians who lack the legal capacity to do so, including children under 19.
