"A family from northern India is grieving the loss of 21-year-old Prabhleen Kaur Matharu, whose body was found in Surrey, B.C., last week.

Police are investigating the death of the international student who, her father recalls, begged him to send her abroad so she could be successful.

Her body was one of two found in a residence in the 14000-block of 102A Avenue in Surrey shortly before 5 p.m. PT on Nov. 21. Police said that the woman's death appears to be a homicide, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is investigating.

Prabhleen Kaur Matharu came to Canada to study business at Langara College in 2016, according to friends and family."


"He said the family, which does not have a lot of money, had already scraped together what they could from relatives to send their daughter to Canada.

Now they're await a letter confirming her homicide so they can get visas to travel to B.C. and find out what happened to her.
"The little money we had, and money we borrowed from relatives, [was] based on our daughter's own choice," said Matharu, who described his daughter's dream of getting to Canada.

"'Papa, I want to be successful. Send me abroad,'" said Matharu, describing his daughter's wishes.

"When this had not happened, we were happy. Now with this ... we are finished," he said.

Father of Indian woman murdered in Surrey says her husband pulled trigger, then killed himself
"Matharu, who came to B.C. from India this week to speak with police and retrieve his daughter’s body, said Prabhleen and Biermann were married on Aug. 31 in Calgary.

The father provided pictures of the ceremony, which appears to have been held in a home with only an officiant present to conduct the marriage.

He also shared other pictures of Prabhleen and Biermann together, as well as Biermann’s high school graduation portrait."

“She was very happy on this marriage,” Matharu said in English.

Matharu could not speak to why Biermann may have killed his wife, or if anything might have sparked the violent incident.

Dhaliwal explained the couple had secured a home to move into together, and had put down a deposit to rent the space just days before the murder.

Prabhleen was a former Langara College student and Sephora employee at the time of her death."
