Bogarh is charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of conspiring to commit murder relating to the New Year’s Eve 1986 death of his spouse Saminder Kaur Bogarh.
Bail was denied by now-retired Justice Frank Cole June 29. A court-ordered publication ban is in effect for the details heard at that appearance.
Narindar Singh Bogarh, Paramjit’s brother, faces the same charges and, according to defence Russ Chamberlain, is currently in India.
