Court records show Etobicoke murder suspect was under no-contact order involving victim

Court records show the 37-year-old man charged with first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Navneet Kaur in Toronto's Etobicoke area was already subject to a court-ordered no-contact condition involving the victim before the fatal shooting.

According to court records, Sharanjit Singh was arrested on July 17 last year on charges of criminal harassment and assault involving Navneet Kaur. He was released the following day under strict bail conditions that prohibited him from contacting her directly or indirectly and from attending her residence or workplace.

Toronto Police have described the case as an alleged incident of intimate partner violence. Investigators say the shooting occurred on July 24. According to witness information released during the investigation, Kaur was walking along the street when Singh allegedly approached her. The two spoke for approximately 30 seconds before Singh allegedly opened fire. Kaur was pronounced dead at the scene. These allegations have not been proven in court.

Singh appeared in court on Friday, where bail was denied on the first-degree murder charge. He is scheduled to return to court on July 31.
