Social media account touting Khalistani extremism claims responsibility for death of Windsor woman A social media account promoting Sikh extremist views is claiming responsibility for the stabbing of a woman in the southwestern Ontario town of LaSalle this week. LaSalle police on Wednesday identified 45-year-old Nancy Grewal of Windsor, Ont., as the victim in the stabbing. She died March 3 in the area of Todd Lane.

A prosecutor says three men accused of murdering an Abbotsford, B.C., couple kept a bat used to bludgeon one of the victims to death, displaying it with "pride" in videos recorded months later. The B.C. Supreme Court in Abbotsford was shown the videos recorded by the men displaying the softball bat alleged to have been used to kill Joanne De Jong in a May 2022 home invasion. Crown prosecutor William Dorsey says the videos "show unmistakably" that the suspects "treasured" the weapon, with Gurkaran Singh seen smiling while holding it. Dorsey says in his closing statements that it was "the smile of a murderer." Singh, Abhijeet Singh, and Khushveer Toor, all in the 20s, have pleaded not guilty to firstdegree murders of De Jong and husband Arnold De Jong. Continued on Page 7...
