NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) – Former friends are testifying against Mukhtiar Panghali at his murder trial. He’s accused of killing his wife. One witness says Panghali played the victim after being told Manjit had died.
The former friend and RCMP officer says Panghali told her that his wife’s death “made him out to be a girl,” because he’d have to act as the lone parent.
The witness also says Panghali was convinced Manjit was seeing a man identified only as ‘Tony.’ Panghali was apparently calm the day after learning about his wife’s death. He repeatedly asked if he needed a lawyer.
Meanwhile, two other witnesses identified Panghali as a man seen in video evidence at a convenience store the night his wife was killed.
