The family of a Surrey man shot and killed in a 2004 dispute is outraged that his killer is applying for supervised leave from prison just six months into a six-year sentence.

Amandeep Bath was 27 years old on Sept. 4, 2004, when he and a friend were out at a New Westminster nightclub and began receiving calls from Bhabjit Aujla and Parminder Basran requesting they meet up. Bath and his friend refused and headed home to Surrey, where they ran into Aujla and Baran near Bath’s house.

They got into an argument over comments Bath had made about a member of Aujla’s family, according to an agreed statement of facts read by Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen in April. Basran pointed a gun into Bath’s friend’s car and, during a melee, it discharged “at or near” Bath’s mouth, the statement said. Bath was not armed.

Aujla and Basran took off but were arrested shortly after. They were first charged in 2004 but the charges were stayed until 2013, when both were arrested again. In March, Basran pleaded guilty to manslaughter and a murder charge against him was dropped.
