Wellington: A New Zealand court today
sentenced a 29-year-old Indian-origin
man to life in prison for murdering his
wife earlier this year.
The Auckland High Court sentenced
Mandeep Singh after he pleaded guilty
to murdering his wife Parmita Rani, 22,
and attempting to murder Parminder
Sandhu at AWI International Education
Group school in Auckland on May 22,
stuff.co.nz reported.
Judge Mark Woolford set the parole
period for Singh to a minimum of 13
years, after which he will be deported
back to India.
Parmita Rani and Singh had been
having marital issues and Singh
believed that his wife had formed a
friendship with Sandhu.
He attacked Rani after confronting her
at the school soon after she finished
an exam. When Sandhu tried to
intervene, Singh stabbed him from
behind, puncturing a lung.
 
According to the court order, Singh will
serve a concurrent sentence of eight
and a half years for the attempted
murder of Sandhu.
The couple married in 2013 and Singh
followed Rani to New Zealand as a
dependent.
They were in the process of renewing
their visa permits when the murder
took place.
