When they arrived, police found the body of Sharanjeet Kaur, 27, who police say was murdered, and the body of 35-year-old Navdeep Singh.

Police say Singh killed Kaur and then himself, but have not released the cause of death.

“It has been determined that she was the victim of a homicide,” Insp. Marty Ottaway said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“The male deceased murdered the female victim. I can confirm the two parties had been in an intimate relationship in the past…we don’t believe they were still involved in an intimate relationship.”

“There was no history with domestic issues, and both were not known to police…there were no warning signs that we were aware of,” Ottaway said.

Kaur was reported missing to Toronto police on Sunday and they were able to track her movement by phone and Peel police became involved, but were called to the residence on Bighorn not on the missing person report, but for the medical issue.

“We have no evidence how she ended up at the house,” Ottaway said, adding he doesn’t believe she had been abducted.
