US man accused of killing wife after falsely claiming ICE detained her

A California man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his wife after allegedly telling investigators she had been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

According to The Sun , Gurinder Gill, 28, claimed ICE officers arrested his wife, Jasmine Gill, while she was checking their mailbox in Sacramento.

However, immigration authorities denied conducting any enforcement operation at their residence.

Jasmine, 30, was last seen on September 30 and reported missing four days later.

Investigators subsequently discovered burned human remains in El Dorado County, approximately 70 miles from Sacramento.

Authorities identified the remains as Jasmine’s through jewellery recovered at the scene.

Police said inconsistencies emerged in Gurinder’s account, while investigations revealed the couple were undergoing divorce and child custody proceedings.

Gurinder was arrested and detained without bail.

Jasmine, a registered nurse, left behind an eight-month-old son.

Her family has launched a fundraiser to cover funeral expenses and support her surviving child following her death.
