Woman attacked at B.C. university campus remembered as kind, helpful
VANCOUVER — A 24-year-old woman who was killed at a university in British Columbia is being remembered as a kind and bubbly person who’d celebrated the start of a new life in Canada.
Harmandeep Kaur was working as a security guard at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna when she was attacked last weekend. RCMP have said a suspect who was also employed there was arrested under the Mental Health Act and could face a murder charge.
Kiranjot Kaur said she attended a funeral Saturday for the cousin she’d spoken with every day on the phone as they shared the goings on of their lives in separate towns after living together in Vancouver for two years.
“We discussed everything with each other,” said Kiranjot Kaur, who moved to Squamish, north of the big city, while her cousin left for the Okanagan city of Kelowna to work as an assistant restaurant manager.
