A second man has pleaded guilty in connection with a Surrey hit-and-run where the victim’s body was discovered more than a kilometre away from where he was struck.
Jagdeep Singh, 22, entered guilty pleas to dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and interfering with a dead body at Surrey Provincial Court on Friday.
His co-accused in the Jan. 27, 2024 collision, 21-year-old Gaganpreet Singh, pleaded guilty to the same three charges on Jan. 6.
The two men did not plead guilty to a fourth charge of attempting to pervert justice.
Surrey RCMP said the victim, Jason Albert Grey, was struck around 1:40 a.m. in the roadway north on University Drive at 104 Avenue.

Gaganpreet Singh’s lawyer has said his client was in Canada from India on a study permit and was aware his guilty pleas could impact his immigration status in Canada.
A two-day sentencing hearing for both men is scheduled to begin May 22.
