BY Connect News, Oct 18, 2023 6:37 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Mukhtiar was granted day parole last year and was granted a temporary absence from prison in 2012.

The Parole Board of Canada has granted full parole to Mukhtiar Singh Panghali.

In fact, in 2006, Panghali strangled his pregnant wife and burnt her body.

Mukhtiar was sentenced to life in prison in 2011, with the possibility of non-parole for up to 15 years, for murdering his wife Manjit Panghali at their home in Surrey.

In October 2006, Manjit was four months pregnant.

Mukhtiar himself had reported her missing.

Five days later, police found Manjit's decomposed body on a beach in B.C.'s Delta region, after which Mukhtiar was first arrested for the crime in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison in 2012 for second-degree murder.

The appeal against the sentence was lost.

Mukhtiar was granted day parole last year and was granted a temporary absence from prison in 2012.

According to the board, 51-year-old Mukhtiar Singh Panghali is sorry for his crime.
