A Surrey man who murdered his wife then set her body on fire has been granted full parole by the Parole Board of Canada.

The board rendered its decision on Oct. 6.

Mukhtiar Singh Panghali, now 51, strangled his pregnant wife of nine years Manjit Panghali, age 31, to death on Oct. 18, 2006 after she香蕉视频直播檇 returned home from a prenatal yoga class, staged the discovery of her car in Whalley, burned her body on a remote beach along DeltaPort causeway in South Delta and then delayed for as long as he could to lodge a missing persons complaint with the Surrey RCMP.

香蕉视频直播淭he Board grants full parole effective immediately. It is the Board香蕉视频直播檚 opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released on full parole and that your release will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen,香蕉视频直播� his parole board document indicates.

Panghali was found guilty of second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body, following a trial in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. Sentenced to life in prison, he began serving his sentence in March 2011 with no eligibility to apply for parole until he香蕉视频直播檇 served 11 years. He got four years credit for time served while awaiting trial, otherwise it would have been 15 years.

香蕉视频直播淵ou have since admitted to having a desire to murder the victim prior to the date of the index offence, and planned to commit the murder beforehand,香蕉视频直播� the parole board noted in its Oct. 6 decision.

香蕉视频直播淵our goal is to be a good father to your daughter, regardless if she resumes contact with you or not,香蕉视频直播� his parole board document indicates.

Panghali and his wife were Surrey school teachers 香蕉视频直播� he taught physics at Princess Margaret Secondary and she taught at North Ridge Elementary. Manjit was four months pregnant when she was murdered, and their daughter was three years old at the time.

香蕉视频直播淎ggravating your risk is the nature and severity of the index conviction. The extreme escalation of violence resulting in the death of the victim, along with an unborn child, are highly concerning to the Board. Particulars of your conviction also aggravate your risk: you fantasized about killing your victim for several months prior to the offence, planned the murder and followed through on these plans despite several other non-lethal options that were available to you,香蕉视频直播� the document reads.

Among mitigating factors, the board noted, is that Panghali had no prior criminal history, is now in his 50s 香蕉视频直播渨hich should also serve as a protective factor,香蕉视频直播� and has made 香蕉视频直播減ositive progress香蕉视频直播� by completing 香蕉视频直播渞isk relevant香蕉视频直播� programs.

香蕉视频直播淵ou are able to verbalize insight into your personality and past behaviours, and, were eventually able to disclose the full extent of your responsibility and offending behaviour after years of minimizing or avoiding same,香蕉视频直播� the parole board observed.

香蕉视频直播淵our offence caused significant trauma to family members of the victim,香蕉视频直播� the board noted. 香蕉视频直播淵our daughter has requested you to cease contact at this time. To ensure you are not making contact with those who you may be further traumatizing, and to ensure the victim香蕉视频直播檚 family members are protected, this condition is reasonable and necessary to remain in effect for the duration of your sentence.香蕉视频直播�

Panghali must not consume, purchase or possess alcohol and must immediately report all relationships and friendships with females for the duration of his sentence, as 香蕉视频直播渁ny relationships and friendships with females must be closely scrutinized to ensure society is protected.香蕉视频直播�
