GUILTY Canada - Poonam Litt, 27, pregnant, Brampton, Ont, 4 Feb 2009

I'm guessing by the names that the accused murderer is the sister of Poonam's husband?

Poonam's FIL (accused of being an accessory after-the-fact) would then be the bio father of the accused murderer and the husband.
 
I'm wondering if the SIL is possibly taking the fall for the FIL ... and how much the MIL knew

rest peacefully Poonam

The trial of a Brampton woman accused in the mysterious disappearance and killing of her pregnant sister-in-law is scheduled to start next May. Mandeep Punia, 36, is facing a second-degree murder charge and will be in court Nov. 13 for a pre-trial hearing. Her trial is scheduled to start May 11, 2015 and up to six weeks of court time has been set aside...

Punia’s husband, Skinder Punia, 43, and Litt’s father-in-law, Kulwant Singh Litt, 64, were charged soon after with being accessories after the fact of murder. The charge against Skinder Punia was withdrawn last year, according to court records.

Kulwant Litt is scheduled to stand trial in September 2015. Up to five weeks has been set aside for that trial, which is expected to get underway Sept. 14, 2015.

A bra with several cuts caused by a “sharp implement” was found near the remains of a pregnant Brampton woman in a Caledon farmer’s field in 2012, a jury has been told.

After Poonam Litt’s skull and other remains were discovered, a forensic search of the Litt’s Cordgrass Crescent home turned up a “significant amount” of her blood behind the baseboards and under the carpet of the dining room, Assistant Crown Veronica Puls told jurors in her opening address Wednesday afternoon.

Litt’s sister-in-law, Mandeep Punia, is on trial for second-degree murder, accused of killing Litt on Feb. 4, 2009. Punia’s husband, Skinder, is also on trial, accused of being an accessory to murder after the fact.
 
With not a lot of media coverage, and 7 years after her murder, another trial for the murder of Poonam Litt is finally underway. Hopefully justice is served this time.

"Jurors were also told this case went to trial before. “It did not finish,” Justice Steve Coroza said. “Do not speculate on what happened during that trial or why there is another trial. What happened there has nothing to do with your decision in this trial. Absolutely nothing.”

"Litt wore a wire and on April 9, 2012, prosecutors say his father finally told him what really happened to Poonam. “The police were not only listening, they were also following Manjinder and Kulwant by airplane.”

"According to Kulwant’s story, his daughter got into an argument with Poonam and stabbed her in the neck with a box cutter as she held her baby in her arms. The Punias then allegedly wrapped her body in a mattress cover, loaded her into her minivan and Skinder and Kulwant then went to dump her in a remote wooded area in Caledon while Mandeep stayed behind to clean the evidence"

What a horrible, evil family. Manjinder Litt has had to deal with so much grief. Perhaps this time around the people responsible for murdering his beautiful wife and mother of his little girl will be finally convicted. MOO

The evidence in this case is nauseating. To think that these people were willing to do this and then cover it up. This is the slowest moving trial- can't help but think the Judge is having a hard time getting it finished up....again.

“If I hadn’t of told you, I wouldn’t have gotten trapped,” he told police. “It was because of telling the truth I got trapped.”

This is seriously one sick family. :notgood:

They all lie. Unfortunately that is their biggest advantage at trial. A bunch of liars each pointing at the other. Who to believe?

The father even said,
“If I had known Manjinder, my son, will do this to me, would have totally kept quiet. He wouldn’t have been able to find anything. Let him suffer.”

Even Poonam's husband, who is "innocent", and whose father now wants him to suffer, continued to live with his family members for a long time even though he believed they had murdered his wife.

And poor Poonam and her child. They were the only pure innocents in all of this.
 
Brampton woman convicted of manslaughter in sister-in-law's death
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/poonam-litt-mandeep-punia-guilty-1.3560912

A jury found Mandeep Punia guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter in the death of her 27-year-old sister-in-law on Saturday, after acquitting the Brampton woman of second-degree murder.
Punia's husband — Skinder Punia — was also found guilty of acting as an accessory after the fact to manslaughter in the death of Poonam Litt.
 
Killing Poonam Litt was a horrendous act, but then dumping her body and for the next three years telling everyone she had just simply disappeared calls for a longer than typical prison sentence for Mandeep Punia, a Superior Court judge has heard.

Mandeep Punia, 39, should be sentenced to between 12 and 14 years in prison on her conviction for manslaughter in the death of her sister-in-law, Assistant Crown Kelly Slate told Justice Steve Coroza at a sentencing hearing in Brampton Friday.

Slate said that while stabbing the 27-year-old pregnant mother of one in the neck was a “brutally violent, tragic event, while a very vulnerable Poonam was holding her daughter… What makes this case particularly aggravating and particularly devastating is what happens after that incident.”

(...)

The top of the range for manslaughter is 8 to 12 years, but it is the “post-offence” conduct that calls for a longer sentence, Slate argued.

The sentencing hearing continues Friday afternoon.
