woman and her brother, accused of masterminding the murder of her 25-year-old daughter, should be extradited to India to face justice, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled. India had requested Malkit Sidhu and Surjit Badesha, the mother and uncle, respectively, of Jaswinder (Jassi) Sidhu, be extradited to face trial for a charge of conspiracy to commit murder in the 2000 death. It is the theory of the Indian government that Jassi was the victim of an "honour killing" arranged by her mother and uncle, the judgment reads. In a unanimous decision released Friday morning, the high court found that a surrender order by then Justice Minister Peter MacKay was justified. According to the judgment, 13 people, including Badesha and Sidhu, were charged in India in connection with the killing and attack.
