The husband of a woman apparently murdered in her Surrey home on Sunday has been arrested and charged in her death, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Mounties found the 64-year-old Jaswan Pandher's body at a home in the 6900-block of 152nd Street at around 1 p.m.
Investigators say her injuries were consistent with foul play.
The victim's husband was arrested at the scene and on Monday IHIT announced that Harbans Pandher has been charged with second-degree murder in his wife's death.
"At this point, a motive is unclear, but it does appear to be domestic-related, and that's all I can tell you at this stage," IHIT spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Pound said in a news conference.
Pound said police have not encountered any other domestic issues at the residence and are trying to uncover a motive.
Officers could be seen cordoning off the area around the home on Sunday.
Neighbours were visibly in shock after learning the news, and some said Pandher was a grandmother who lived in the house with her family.
“Something so close to home, it is really terrifying, horrible,” said Jas Gill, who lives two houses down from the crime scene.
An investigation is ongoing.
