On April 5, 1996, nine members of the Gakhal and Saran families were killed by an estranged relative in Vernon.
It’s one of the worst mass murders in Canadian history.
In the past, the Gakhal family, in collaboration with community service agencies in Vernon, have held a vigil to commemorate the loss of these citizens to domestic violence.
But the vigil will not be held this year as the family will be remembering their loss in private.
