A bail hearing for Paramjit Singh Bogarh, 57, took place on Tuesday in a Vernon courtroom.

Bogarh is facing charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the death of his wife more than 30 years ago.

On Dec. 31, 1986, 26-year-old Saminder Bogarh was allegedly killed in Vernon, where the couple lived at the time.
