LONDON -- A Brampton high school student is London's second homicide victim of the year and a University of Western Ontario student -- the same age and also from Brampton -- is charged with his death.
Atinder Singh, 18, was found bleeding in the kitchen of a London house about 5:30 a.m. Sunday. Taken to hospital with a stab wound, he died.
A police dog tracked the 18-year-old charged in the slaying in a brush area near the university, said London police Det. Andrew Whitford.
Police also seized a knife.
Kulvir Grewal, 18, a first-year health sciences student, is charged with second-degree murder.
IN COURT
Grewal was wearing traditional
Sikh headwear during a court appearance yesterday.
Whitford said the knife police found was not a kirpan, a
Sikh ceremonial dagger.
Police said seven students lived at the house, adding Singh and Grewal did not. The two knew each other and were visiting the house, police said.
About a dozen people, most of them students, were at the house at the time, police said.
Singh had been visiting London for the weekend.
In Brampton yesterday, grief counsellors were at Harold M. Brathwaite secondary school, where Singh was in Grade 12 and will likely return today, said Sylvia Link, a spokesman with the Peel District School Board.
GRIEF TEAM
"Members of the (grief) team have been there today and continue to be there as long as needed," she said.
The principal updated staff on the case and discussed how to handle grieving students, now taking exams, Link said.
The school also drafted a letter, to be sent home to parents, with tips about how to speak with grieving teenagers. Meanwhile, Grewal made a court appearance yesterday.
