British Columbia's integrated homicide investigation team says a man in Abbotsford, B.C., has been charged with murder in the death of his wife.
IHIT says in a news release that officers from the Abbotsford Police Department responded to a report of an assault at a home in the city on Friday night.
They arrived to find a woman, who has now been identified as 41-year-old Balwinder Kaur, suffering from life-threatening stab wounds inside the home.
Abbotsford police confirmed Saturday that Kaur died of her injuries a short time later and IHIT took over the investigation.
Kaur's husband, 50-year-old Jagpreet Singh, was arrested at the scene and IHIT says he has now been charged with second-degree murder.
The homicide team says it is working in tandem with Abbotsford police and the BC Coroners Service on the case.
