Canadians across the country are outraged over the slow grind of justice in the case of Maple Ridge beautician Jaswinder “Jassi” Kaur Sidhu who was tortured and murdered after she married a poor rickshaw driver against the wishes of her family.

The case was also the subject of the CBC documentary The Murdered Bride aired in partnership with the film Murder Unveiled which was inspired by the modern day Romeo and Juliet tale.

“Shame, shame RCMP and Canada!” wrote N. Pratt, an office assistant in Vancouver. “How much respect can you have in a system that won't stand up for its citizens?”

R. Hirschkorn of Vernon, B.C. said that he was “absolutely appalled with the seeming lack of concern and action with both our Canadian government and the RCMP.”

Sadaf, a student in Toronto, said that if the Canadian government “can’t help us is such situation, what’s the point of having Canadian nationality.”

It has been more than five years since the 25-year-old Jassi was kidnapped, beaten and strangled to death on June 8, 2000.

Her husband Sukhwinder “Mithu” Singh was left for dead by hired assassins who attacked him with swords and sharpened sticks.
