A Surrey woman’s former partner has been charged with second-degree murder, nearly two years after her remains were found in Richmond.
On Feb. 23, 2024, 28-year-old Navdeep Kaur’s family reported her disappearance to the Surrey RCMP.
The Lower Mainland’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took over the case in March, after police found evidence that Kaur may have been a “victim of foul play.”
In July, 2024, the Richmond RCMP began investigating after the discovery of human remains on the shore of an industrial area north east of the George Massey Tunnel.
IHIT confirmed those were the remains of Kaur several months later, in November, 2024.

Investigators say it took several months to piece together a timeline of events, but the evidence submitted resulted in the BC Prosecution Service finally charging Kaur’s former partner, 24-year-old Amarbir Singh, with her murder this month.
“The two were in a relationship at the time of Ms. Kaur’s disappearance,” IHIT added in an update Wednesday.
Police say Singh is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
“We are aware that Mr. Singh may have fled the country, but that will not stop us from pursuing him,” said Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT.
“We will continue to actively track him down, and we are fully prepared to work with our law enforcement counterparts overseas to bring him before the Court.”
Investigators are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to call IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4488).
