A Surrey, B.C., man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for 12 years in the death of his common-law partner. Tejwant Danjou, 71, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Rama Gauravarapu, 56, earlier this year. Danjou killed Gauravarapu in a hotel room in West Kelowna on July 22, 2018, by striking her with a wine bottle. Supreme Court said when delivering her verdict that "there is abundant evidence that shows Mr. Danjou acted with purpose and foresight." Danjou will be 83 when he becomes eligible for parole in 2032.
