Indian-Origin Man Tied Ex-Girlfriend With Cables, Buried Her Alive In Australia

Jasmeen Kaur, 21-year-old nursing student from India, was bound by cables and buried alive by her ex-boyfriend in Australia’s Flinders Ranges, a court heard on Wednesday, as per 9News. Her killer Tarikjot Singh committed the act in an “act of vengeance”, the court was further told during the hearing, the outlet further said. Singh was accused of kidnapping Kaur and killing her in March 2021. He pleaded guilty to her murder in February this year. Singh had dumped the woman’s body in a shallow grave from where the police found it.

Prosecutors said Singh planned her killing because he was unable to get over the breakdown of their relationship. Jasmeen Kaur’s mother Rashpaul said Singh was obsessed with her daughter, who refused him “one hundred times”.

9News said Singh kidnapped Kaur from her workplace in Adelaide and drove for four hours with the woman in the boot of the car.

Her body was found blindfolded, limbs bound with cable ties and gaffer tape in a shallow grave in the Flinders Ranges.

Prosecutor Carmen Matteo said the crime involved an “uncommon level of cruelty”.

“She had to have been consciously suffering what could only be described as the absolute terror of breathing in and swallowing soil and dying in that way,” Ms Matteo said.
