An Abbotsford man has pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of his wife, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says.

In July 2022, first responders found Kamaljit Kaur Sandhu suffering from life-threatening injuries in a home on Eastview Street near Babich Park. She later died from her injuries.

Her husband, Inderjit Sandhu, was found at the scene and taken into custody.

Inderjit appeared in court Friday, where he entered his plea.

No date has been set for a sentencing hearing, IHIT says.
