A man has been arrested after his wife was murdered in Brampton on Wednesday evening.
She said Jarnail Randhawa sustained minor injuries during the altercation and was taken to hospital before his arrest.
Marttini noted that the couple lives in the area and was reportedly out for a walk before the incident.
“So it actually appears that the couple went for a walk earlier that evening, and obviously failed to return. Some circumstances must have unfolded which caused this altercation to go to this level in which it appears that he took her life,” she said at the scene Thursday morning.
“Things can happen very quickly in a heated moment or you know what we say when some people are passionate, when hearts are involved. It's a very sad circumstance right now,” she added.
Anyone with any information, dash cam or video footage is asked to contact police at 905-453-2121, extension 3205.
