"A Santa Rosa man stabbed his sister-in-law in the back with a kitchen knife and continued to attack her in and outside their home, even after the knife's handle broke off, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday, Feb. 3. The violent detail was presented during opening statements in the trial of Varinder Singh. He's charged with murder in the death of Kuljeet Kaur, who prosecutors say was stabbed 37 times before she died outside their Santa Rosa home on April 25, 2022."
"Mills said Singh, a long-haul truck driver, was controlling and demanded SK join him on his trips. One week prior to the killing, Mills said, the couple was in New Jersey and Singh threatened to attack SK with a hammer after she told him not to drive at night. His public defender, Joe Bisbiglia, countered SK's family pushed Singh into marrying her out of concern a previous divorce would make it hard for her to find a new husband."
Varinder Singh faces a murder trial for the April 25, 2022 killing of Kuljeet Kaur, who was stabbed 37 times and died outside a Santa Rosa home. Prosecutors allege Singh stabbed Kaur in the back with a kitchen knife, continued attacking her inside and outside the home even after the knife handle broke, and acted out of rage over interference in his relationship with his wife, SK. Defense counsel contends family pressure compelled the marriage, that Singh reluctantly relocated, suffered suicidal ideation, and was burdened by financial demands. Judge Kenneth Gnoss is presiding before a 16-member jury with alternates.
