The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) arrested and charged Evan Rain, 30, and Judith Saulteaux, 30, with 1st degree murder on Friday, Dec. 6 in relation to Singh’s death. Investigators do not believe anyone else was involved in Singh’s death and a weapon was recovered during the arrest. Court dates for both accused are on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2024.
The EPS is aware of a video circulating online that depicts Mr. Singh’s shooting death on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024. We are unable to comment on the authenticity of the video as the investigation is ongoing. While three individuals are observed in the video, EPS is confident that only two individuals were involved in the shooting death.
The EPS is also aware of a photo that has been posted online that misidentifies an individual with the same surname who has no connection to Singh’s death. We can confirm this is NOT a photo of the accused. The EPS has not posted any photos of the accused in this investigation.
“Edmontonians are rightly outraged by this tragic incident,” said EPS Homicide Staff Sgt. Rob Bilawey. “Posting or sharing incorrect information during an ongoing investigation impedes the process and disrespects the victim and their loved ones. We send our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.”
