“Mr. Deo's actions following the shooting were cold, callous and calculated,' said the Crown prosecutor.
A Surrey man who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and offering an indignity to a human body in connection with his girlfriend's 2017 death should be jailed for 10 years, B.C. Supreme Court heard Oct. 5.
Deo, now 25, was charged in May 2019 with second-degree murder. A month later, police announced an additional charge of indecently interfering with or offering an indignity to human remains.“Mr. Deo’s moral blameworthiness is high for this manslaughter,” Nahal said. “It was a deliberate action on his part to carry a loaded firearm for his protection.”
Watchuk heard Deo was involved in the drug trade and carried a loaded weapon out of fear for his safety. He did not have a firearm acquisition certificate.What happened The court heard the couple had been in his bedroom at his parents’ Surrey home when the gun went off accidentally as he attempted to take it from his pocket. She was shot in the head and collapsed on the bed. He did not call for emergency help.“He also took a red gas can containing diesel fuel,” Nahal said.
In Deo’s bedroom, they found Dhesi’s blood, a spent gun cartridge and a firearm holster. They did not find the firearm, Deo or Dhesi’s cellphones or the security system recorder. Still, he said, Deo's actions after the shooting were done in a state of panic, what Fowler characterized as "an almost childlike attempt to erase what he had done."
