MISSISSAUGA, ONT. — Police say a woman who died in a stabbing at a Canadian Tire in Mississauga, Ont., this week was married to the man charged in the case.

Peel Region police have identified the woman as 22-year-old Chandanpreet Kaur.

Officers were called to the store around 6 p.m. on Monday after reports of a stabbing and found Kaur with apparent stab wounds – they say she died at the scene.

Investigators say Kaur's husband of three years – 26-year-old Charanjeet Singh – was arrested and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Singh was charged earlier this week with first-degree murder in the case.

Police are asking anyone with information, video or dashcam footage of the incident to reach out.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 22, 2022.
