Jatinder Kaur Purewal, ex-wife of truck driver Jaspinder Singh, faces charges of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, and obstruction of justice for allegedly orchestrating his 2024 killing in Utah’s desert. Jaswinder Singh Dhillon, her alleged accomplice, was charged earlier with the same murder and kidnapping counts and remains jailed without bond.
Incident Overview
Singh was found dead in his semi-truck’s sleeper cab in September 2024, hands bound and stabbed in the neck and legs, after his GPS stopped moving; he had been tailed by a car for 300 miles beforehand. That vehicle was later traced to Washington state, leading to Dhillon’s arrest, while Purewal was extradited from California and booked on December 3, 2025.
Key Evidence
Court records cite Purewal’s prior death threats against Singh, statements from her daughter—who holds a restraining order against her—claiming her mother was “very capable of killing her dad,” and over 30 calls between Purewal and Dhillon post-arrest, including love declarations. Purewal is reportedly married to someone else, not Dhillon.
