A Vancouver man who has followed the investigation into the killing of a British Columbia woman in India more than 11 years ago says extraditing two new suspects could be a long and difficult process.
The RCMP announced Friday that they had arrested the mother and uncle of Jaswinder Kaur Sidhu, who was 25 when she was killed in Punjab on June 8, 2000.
Sidhu's husband was also seriously injured in the attack.
Malkit Kaur Sidhu and Surjit Singh Badesha, both of Maple Ridge, B.C., were taken into custody under the Extradition Act earlier this week.
Journalist, author and documentary filmmaker Fabian Dawson says he believes extraditing them to India will be difficult because evidence collected in India will have to stand up to scrutiny in B.C.'s courts.
He says the process could take up to 10 years if the case runs its full length and goes all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
