A former Surrey, B.C., teacher who killed his pregnant wife and burned her body in 2006 has been granted full parole.
In 2011, Mukhtiar Singh Panghali, 51, was handed a life sentence for killing Manjit Kaur Panghali on convictions for second-degree murder and indignity to a body.
Days after killing his wife, Panghali went to the public with a tearful plea for help to find her. At trial, the court heard he had left his four-year-old daughter alone at home while he disposed of the body. His wife's burned remains were found on a beach in Delta five days after her death.
Panghali was granted day parole in July 2022 and has since obtained full-time work with an unnamed company, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
In its release decision, dated Oct. 6, the board said it believed he would "present an undue risk to society if released on full parole" and that his release would "contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen." Catherine Urquhart reports.
