Fundraiser for kids of slain woman in Brampton as husband charged with murder

The community is rallying behind the family of a Brampton woman allegedly stabbed to death by her husband last week.
Davinder Kaur was killed in Brampton on Friday (May 19), Peel Regional Police said. The 43-year-old woman was found suffering from stab wounds at Sparrow Park near Hummingbird Cr. and Cherrytree Dr. around 6:00 p.m.
Life-saving efforts were attempted by first responders but Kaur died from her injuries at the scene, police said. A short distance from the scene, police arrested and charged 43-year-old Nav Nishan Singh from Brampton with first-degree murder in the killing.
Family members grieving the loss say the accused is Kaur’s husband, and that the 43-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times by her attacker.
A GoFundMe page has been started to raise funds and help with funeral arrangements and support Kaur’s children. As of 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, the fundraiser had received nearly $2,100 in donations of a $25,000 goal.
Kaur’s death is at least the third suspected case of a woman of South Asian descent in Mississauga or Brampton being killed as a result of intimate partner violence.
