Abbotsford double-homicide trial delayed after accused fires lawyer

  • Khushveer Toor, facing two first-degree murder charges, terminated his legal counsel on April 30 ahead of a trial scheduled for May 20 in Abbotsford.
  • The trial was postponed after Toor dismissed his attorney in connection with the 2022 murders of Arnold and Joanne De Jong at their Arcadian Way residence.
  • Arnold, aged 77, and Joanne, aged 76, were discovered deceased on May 9, 2022, while Toor faces charges alongside his co-accused, Gurkaran Singh and Abhijeet Singh.
  • The three men, who remain in custody, are scheduled for an eight-week judge-alone trial starting January 12, 2026.
  • This trial delay suggests adjusted scheduling for legal proceedings involving all accused after Toor’s lawyer discharge and previous application rejections.
