A third member of the same family has now been charged following the death of a 19-year-old British Columbia woman nearly two years ago. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says Inderdeep Deo, who is 23, was arrested last Friday and charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. Deo is expected to appear in a Surrey courtroom on May 27. Cpl. Frank Jang says Deo is the sister of Harjot Singh Deo, the 21-year-old man charged earlier this month with second-degree murder in the death of Kiran Dhesi. The post-secondary student was found in the remains of a charred vehicle in Surrey on Aug. 1, 2017, and police have said Dhesi and Harjot Deo were in a romantic relationship. The 53-year-old mother of both Harjot and Inderdeep Deo, Manjit Kaur Deo, was charged May 17 with being an accessory to murder, and Jang says investigators believe others still have information about the slaying.

Romania’s most powerful politician was sentenced Monday to 3 1/2 years in prison for official misconduct in a graft case. The jail time for Liviu Dragnea, party leader of the ruling Social Democrats, came after a conviction last year for having two party members paid by a public agency for fake jobs. According to prosecutors, Dragnea intervened from 2008 to 2010, when he was a government official, to keep two women employed by his party on the payroll of the family welfare agency. The women admitted working for the party while they received salaries from the public agency. Dragnea, already blocked from being Romania’s prime minister because of a 2016 conviction for vote-rigging, was expected to be imprisoned shortly within 24 hours. Hundreds of Romanians took to the streets of Bucharest, the capital, on Monday to celebrate Dragnea’s sentence, some of them posing for pictures with cut-outs of Dragnea in prison garb. The ruling party has been widely criticized for failing to fight corruption by officials.
