ABBOTSFORD – Police say an Abbotsford, B.C., man is now facing an upgraded charge of first-degree murder in the death of a 30-year-old woman who was found dead inside a hotel last month.
Homicide investigators says 26-year-old Sondeep Singh Gill was previously charged with second-degree murder, but that was upgraded after further investigation.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the accused is also charged with one count of indignity to human remains.
Police say patrol officers in Abbotsford responded to the scene at a local hotel after receiving reports about a “suspicious circumstance.”
Police said at the time that investigators were able to confirm the case as a homicide, and one man was arrested and taken into custody.
Authorities say the victim has been identified as an Abbotsford woman, but the nature of the relationship between her and the accused remains under investigation.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 4, 2026.
