Home-invasion murder suspect's search history 'exceptionally damning': prosecutor
Crown prosecutors highlight Google searches on murder penalties by one accused to link three men to the 2022 Abbotsford home-invasion and murder case.
- The Crown said Abhijeet Singh ran Google searches about murder punishments, killing in self-defence, soon after accessing news about the De Jongs' deaths in Abbotsford, B.C.
- The Crown says the men were motivated by debt, financial pressure and greed to invade and rob the De Jongs, and they moved at "breakneck speed" to steal money, pay bills, cash cheques over $10,000 and attempt a fraudulent transfer.
- Investigators recovered purchases at Home Depot and Canadian Tire, plus a softball bat with Joanne De Jong's DNA in the trunk of the vehicle, prosecutors say.
