Husband of woman who burned to death in 2013 to be charged with murder


READ MORE

The husband of a Sydney woman who died after being doused in petrol and set alight nearly four years ago has been arrested.


Parwinder Kaur, 32, died in December 2013 after suffering full thickness burns to 90 per cent of her body at a Rouse Hill house.


Police arrested the woman’s 37-year-old husband on Wednesday morning at his Rouse Hill home and he’s now being questioned.


Superintendent Rob Critchlow, from The Hill Police, told a press conference on Wednesday morning the man will soon be charged with one count of murder.


“We have worked tirelessly to gather evidence of what actually occurred. The investigation has been painstaking and today we can announce that we’ve arrested a 37-year-old man from Kellyville and he is now assisting detectives with their inquiries and will soon be charged with one count of murder and appear before the Parramatta local court this afternoon,” Superintendent Critchlow said.

“The process was very painstaking it took a long time because it was so complex. There were no third-party witnesses to the matter and we relied heavily on specialist analysis of the evidence,” he added.


The family told police they were relieved and were comforted with the extensive investigation into the murder.


A 2015 inquest into the woman’s death heard the couple had spoken about divorce and Ms Kaur’s husband had, on several occasions, threatened to kill his wife.


The couple again argued about family finances on the afternoon Ms Kaur died, the inquest heard.


Shortly after the fight, Ms Kaur telephoned triple-zero. Her call was then suddenly terminated.


Minutes later, Ms Kaur’s neighbours reported hearing a “blood-curdling scream”.


They emerged from their homes in the western Sydney suburb of Rouse Hill to see what one described as a “ball of fire”.


The husband was seen running after her and patting her as if to put out the flames.


The man is at Castle Hill Police Station and police will address media later in the morning.

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
