A Brampton murder victim’s widow pleaded for anyone with information in the death of her husband and another man found in the trunk of a rented car to come forward.

“He was a good husband. He was everything to me,” Harjinder Sandhu, the wife of murder victim Harjinder Singh Sandu, told a press conference Friday.

The bullet-riddled bodies of Mr. Sandhu, 28, and Puneet Singh Chinna, 26, formerly of Nepean, Ont., were found in the trunk of a 2009 Nissan Altima on Rosebank Road in Pickering on May 5. Residents told investigators they noticed the car at about 6 the previous evening.

Friends of the victims told investigators the two left the Sandu residence at 4 p.m. on May 4 to meet friends in Scarborough. “They exited Highway 407 at Kennedy Road at precisely 4:38 p.m. and we can only speculate they went south toward Scarborough after exiting,” said Durham Regional Police Det. Mitch Martin.

Mr. Sandhu was facing drug charges of importation in Windsor.

“Certainly these murders strike me as more organized … but Chinna was not drug-related so we cannot rule out any other possible scenarios,” Det. Martin said.
