Jan. 29, 2014: Bhupinderpal Gill and his 15-year-old daughter came home from running errands to find Jagtar Gill dead, covered in blood on the living floor in the family’s Barrhaven home. It was the couple’s 17th wedding anniversary.
April 7, 2014: Gurpreet Ronald, Gill’s mistress, was arrested in Jagtar’s death. Two days later, she appeared in court to face a first-degree murder charge.
April 11, 2014: Ottawa police issued an appeal to the public for information about a bloodied bar found in a woodland area in Barrhaven that they believed was used in Jagtar’s killing.
April 13, 2014: Gill was arrested at his Barrhaven home and appeared in court the next day to face a first-degree murder charge.
May 20, 2016: The Ronald and Gill joint first-degree murder trial began with opening remarks from Crown prosecutor Jason Neubauer. He alleged Gill was caught on camera by Ottawa police going to his basement twice to look at a bloodied metal bar hidden in a box before concealing it in his jacket and throwing it away in a wooded area. Police had obtained a warrant to set up a hidden camera in Gill’s basement during their investigation into Jagtar’s death.
May 24, 2016: Jagtar’s father, Ajit Singh Mann, broke down and left the courtroom after graphic crime scene photos were displayed on a large television screen. Members of Jagtar’s family who remained in the courtroom gasped at the horrifying photos that showed her injuries.
May 25, 2016: Court heard that detectives were granted a warrant that allowed them to surreptitiously get a DNA sample from Ronald in an elaborate ruse. She filled out a contest entry form and licked its envelope with the hopes of winning. The blood found at Gill’s home on the knives and latex gloves matched Ronald’s DNA.
May 26, 2016: The jury heard from the clairvoyant that Ronald and Gill hired. Susanne Shields, a civil servant and part-time clairvoyant, told the jury that Gill and Ronald had hateful nicknames for Jagtar. Ronald called her “The Devil” and Gill called his wife “Nazi woman.” Ronald and Gill, who were both selling their homes, also hired Shields to stage their properties.
May 27, 2016: Shields was accused by Gill’s defence lawyer, James Harbic, of fabricating evidence that his client nodded in agreement that he would do anything to be with Ronald. Shields didn’t mention it in her 2014 interview with police or at the preliminary hearing in 2015 because nobody had ever asked her about it, she said.
June 1, 2016: A video of the police interview with Jagtar’s daughter was played in court. She had roses in her hand when she returned home from shopping with her father to find her mother dead on the living room floor. “There was blood everywhere,” she told police. She said she was too scared to check for a pulse.
June 3: Dr. Christopher Milroy, a forensic pathologist, testified that Jagtar tried to fight off her attacker and, based on her injuries, likely tried to grab the knife she was being stabbed with.
June 8: The jury was told that Richard Guertin, a contractor who takes care of National Capital Commission parks, found a large, rusted kitchen knife and two blue plastic gloves after the snow had melted in an area where Ronald was followed by police.
June 10: Scott Fewer, a family friend, testified that he was struck by the lack of concern when he visited Gill after his wife’s death. No one was crying or asking who killed Jagtar.
June 15: In a video of Gill’s interview with police played in court, he said he washed the knives used to kill his wife because he panicked. In another police interview, Gill told Det. Chris Benson he was innocent but admitted he looked guilty from every angle. Benson told Gill in a third interview that his story kept changing every time he gave the accused more information.
June 27: Gill took the stand in his own defence and testified he confronted Ronald days after his wife was killed to ask if she was responsible. She said she didn’t do it and she had an alibi.
June 30: Ronald’s estranged husband, Jason, testified that his wife repeatedly came at him with a knife raised over her shoulder “much like the movie Psycho,” including a few months before the killing.
July 5: Ronald’s defence team revealed a surprise alibi that silenced the courtroom — their client was out having tea with a doctor when her lover’s wife was killed.
July 6: Ronald took the stand in her own defence and told the jury that she didn’t kill Jagtar but discovered her dead, covered in blood. Ronald testified that her DNA was found at the scene because he picked up a knife and after realizing her fingerprints were on the weapon, she put on latex gloves and wiped them off.
July 20: Both Ronald and Gill were found guilty of first-degree murder in Jagtar’s death.
