The Truro Police Service would like to thank Mr. Singh’s family and friends, and the Maritime Sikh Society for their patience, trust, and support during this investigation.
We recognize this was and continues to be a difficult time for those close to Prabhjot. We also want to acknowledge the pain that this senseless act has caused the entire community, and we understand that people have been very anxious and fearful.
Knowing how important a quick resolution was, our investigative team worked tirelessly to conduct an extensive investigation. This work is complex and technical, and our end goal has always been bringing those responsible to justice.
We also want to thank the North Nova Major Crime Unit, the RCMP Forensic Identification Section and the Halifax Regional Police Criminal Investigation Division for the assistance that they provided to our team.
Since this case is now before the court, the Truro Police Service cannot comment on or release any additional details in this case as we don’t want to jeopardize a successful prosecution.
Our goal at the Truro Police Service and the Town of Truro is to create a welcoming community where diversity is valued. All members of our community deserve to feel safe and protected, and we hope that the news of criminal charges in this case, can help with the grief the community is experiencing.
