Chandigarh , December 17

The Abbotsford Police has arrested and charged three Punjabi youths with the murder of a couple, 77-year-old Arnold De Jong and his wife, 76-year-old Joanne De Jong, who were killed in May.

On December 16, an Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), along with members of the police, arrested three Punjabi suspects for the murders. Two charges of first degree murder have been laid against 20-year old Gurkaran Singh, 22-year old Abhijeet Singh and 22-year-old Khushveer Toor. All three men reside in Surrey.

“We are a step closer to finding justice for the couple. Their senseless murders shook our community to the core,” said the Abbotsford Police Department.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
