Husband arrested after wife’s burned remains are identified in California

Jasmine Gill, 30, was reported missing after last being seen at her Sacramento home on 30 September. Her husband, Gurinder Singh Gill, told authorities that ICE agents had taken her, but the agency said it had carried out no enforcement activity at their home. After her burned remains were identified in El Dorado County, Gurinder was arrested and charged with her murder.

Investigators said his account contained several inconsistencies and learned the couple were divorcing and disputing child custody. The remains were found on 1 October, three days before Jasmine was reported missing. Gurinder was held without bail and arraigned on Friday; the article reported no future court dates. Jasmine was a registered nurse and mother of an eight-month-old baby, and a family fundraiser was seeking help with legal costs and sending her body to India.
