On the evening of June 8, 2000, a newlywed couple in India who had just been married for three months visited the man's parents. When the couple went home and passed a small bridge, they were attacked by four masked men.
The four gangsters, armed with long swords and clubs, pulled them off the tricycle and killed them. The unarmed newlyweds were naturally not rivals, and soon fell to the side of the road covered in blood.
In this last moment of life, the wife wants to protect her husband. So she endured the severe pain, grabbed the murderer's clothes, and begged them to stop.
After hearing his wife's pleading, the gangsters turned their heads together and cut her throat cruelly with a long knife. Although the husband was seriously injured, he saved his life!
After the investigation, the behind-the-scenes agent who instigated the four gangsters turned out to be the wife's mother and uncle.
Although I knew the perpetrators and behind the scenes, many years after the murder, the corruption of the Indian police and the inaction of the Canadian Mounted Police made the two behind the scenes not only go to jail for a day, but live a happy life.
What is the reason why mothers and uncles have to kill their own relatives?
What is the reason that they have not been severely punished by the law even after many years of committing crimes?
If you want to know this, you have to start with the wife's family background and experience.
This wife is named Jessie, an Indian Sikh, born in 1976 in a small town in Vancouver, Canada.
Although he grew up in Canada, Jessie’s fate is no different from that of many Indian women.
After graduating from high school, Jessie did not continue to study, but under the supervision of her mother, she stayed at home all day to sew her dowry.
Who is she to marry? A Sikh rich businessman who is nearly sixty years old!
This wealthy businessman is Uncle Jessie's business partner. She is going to marry such an old man at the time of her blooming years,It was entirely the result of discussions between the uncle and the mother.
As for the reason behind it, I have to talk about the Canadian Sikh .
Although the hometown of Sikhs is in India, with the development, some Sikhs have also begun to move around the world. Vancouver, Canada, has become the place where Sikhs gather the most in the world except India.
Sikhs have a very high fertility rate. As the population increases, the number of votes in their hands will naturally increase. Coupled with their active participation in politics, they have occupied a lot of seats in the Canadian parliament, so even the prime minister has to build relationships and show courtesy to them.
In addition to participating in politics, these Sikhs are also very good at making money. The large tracts of orchards and farms near Vancouver are basically monopolized by them.
There are people who want people, money and money. After years of painstaking management, the Sikhs in Vancouver have long emerged from the stereotypes of big heads and beards, airport rentals, and hotels pulling luggage, and their social status and influence continue to increase. , There is even a tendency to catch up with the Chinese.
The heroine of this case, Jessie, was born into such a Sikh family.
Although the Sikhs in Vancouver have lived there for two or three generations, many of them have integrated with the local Canadian culture. But that's not the case with Jessie's family!
They have more than ten families in the same family, living in a big house similar to a motel. The men all work in the surrounding blueberry farms, and the women do the laundry, cook, and take care of their children at home.
A whole family, dozens of people, eat and live together. The income from labor is turned over in a unified manner, and then distributed to each family according to the population of each household and the status of the work.
There is a patriarch in this big family. He holds great power and presides over all things in the clan including property distribution, weddings and funerals. He is like a "tudy emperor".
The patriarch of the Jessie family is called Badsha, an old man with a white beard in a turban. He is also Jesse's mother's brother and Jessie's uncle!
Marry Jessie to a wealthy businessman who is also a Sikh,It is entirely because of economic interests and family development considerations for the uncle and mother.
But because of the influence of traditional concepts and the absolute power of the patriarch, Jessie can only endure silently and dare not resist, knowing that it is an arranged marriage and no love.
Things turned around in the second summer vacation after Jessie graduated from high school.
Given that Jessie is about to marry, in order to allow the 19-year-old bride-to-be to further accept the traditional marital life re-education, on the second summer vacation after graduating from high school, her mother sent her to India to talk to distant relatives. Live for a summer.
It was this summer that Jessie accidentally met Misson, a young man of his own age.
One day, Jessie went home after finishing her sewing class, but she unexpectedly encountered heavy rain halfway through. She ran to a shop to hide from the rain, and was unable to contact her relatives to take her home, so she had to wave a tricycle. The driver of this tricycle is Misson.
On the way home on the Missen tricycle, the two chatted. Although there is only less than half an hour to get along with each other, Jessie has been attracted by this handsome, cheerful, and humorous fellow of the same age, and Misson is also fascinated by Jessie's beauty and dignity.
Since then, Jessie often takes Missen's tricycle to go home, and the mutual affection between the two has gradually evolved into love.
But the identity difference between the two is too great! Jessie is the young lady of a big family, and with a marriage, not only does Misson have nothing, not even a Sikh.
For Sikhs who strictly follow the caste system and cannot marry between different castes, the love between Jessie and Misson seems destined to be a tragedy!
After summer is over, Jessie will return to Canada. During this time of getting along, she and Misson developed a deep relationship. On the day of separation, the two reluctantly said goodbye.
At this time, Jessie secretly swears in her heart that no matter how difficult it is, she will also oppose arranged marriages.Be brave to pursue your own happiness.
As soon as she arrived in Vancouver, Jessie told her mother about her love for Misson in India.
Mother was furious when she heard that, she scolded Jessie severely and told her not to be wishful thinking, but Jessie was still defending herself.
Seeing that her daughter was so "disobedient", her mother shut Jessie in the room and asked her to reflect on it, quietly waiting to marry the old rich businessman soon.
About a week later, Jesse escaped from the family with the help of her best friend and headed to downtown Vancouver.
At that time, her idea was very simple. While working to earn money, she figured out a way to bring her Indian boyfriend Misson to Canada to reunite.
But reality is always cruel!
Jessie, who is less than 20 years old, is already very difficult to support herself with the meager income earned by working alone, not to mention the high cost of paying for her boyfriend to come to Canada.
In addition, Misson's education level is not high, and he obviously cannot meet the criteria for skilled immigration.
The guarantee fee cannot be paid, and the skilled immigration standard is not up to the standard. If Misson wants to come to Canada, there is only one way left-marrying Jessie!
Because of Canadian law: After a couple gets married, they can use their spouse status as a guarantee to allow each other to immigrate to Canada.
However, for Jessie's family background, marrying Misson seems to be more difficult than the previous two methods.
The power of love is great. In order to be with her beloved, Jessie, who is stubborn, decides to fight to the end with her family.
She resolutely disagreed with moving back to live, and she resisted the arranged marriage with death, and disagreed with marrying the old wealthy businessman.
Under the mutual stalemate with my family, five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Jessie is already 24 years old, and in the eyes of Indians, she has stepped into the ranks of old girls.
Although Jessie and Misson have not seen each other in five years, they still express their love and miss each other through text messages and letters.Continue to maintain this precious love affair.
Of course, Mison’s life is not easy. Because of his relationship with Jessie, Jessie's parents have intimidated, harassed and even beaten Misson many times through their influence in India.
But this still can't stop the two people's determination to be together.
One night in March 2000, Jessie stole her passport with the help of her cousin. That night, she set off overnight and flew to India to marry Misson.
Successfully held the wedding and got a marriage certificate. Jessie hurriedly returned to Canada to process reunion immigration for her newlywed husband.
In her opinion, now that raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, the family is helpless. So she no longer hid it, and disclosed the fact that she was married.
Faced with his niece's disobedience, the old patriarch Badsha finally couldn't sit still. He took a few young people in the family and broke into the hairdressing salon where Jessie worked, and openly abducted her.
That's not counting, Badsha has also confiscated the marriage certificate that Jess has worked so hard to obtain in India, and burned it in front of the family.
At the same time, Badsha contacted his friends in India, paid for a few street gangsters, beat Jessie’s newlywed husband Missen into a severe concussion, and lay in the hospital for half a month before he came out.
In order to separate Jessie and Misson, the family has exhausted all means. But even so, the brave Jess managed to escape.
It was one evening, after the women in the family cooked their meals, they were waiting for the men to come back to eat together. Taking advantage of them not paying attention, Jessie secretly mixed the sleeping pills that had been planned for a long time in the drinking water, and they were all put down.
At midnight, Jessie escaped from the house.
The next day, accompanied by her best friend, she went to the Vancouver RCMP to report to the police, suing her mother and uncle for illegal detention and personal injury.
Afterwards, under the protection of the mounted police, Jessie went home to pack her clothes and belongings, and completely broke with her family!
Jessie, who had severed ties with her family, returned to India soon,Go and spend a lifetime with my husband Misson.
But no matter where she escaped, bad luck still did not let her go.
On the night of June 8, 2000, Jessie was brutally killed by four masked gangsters arranged by her mother and uncle. Her husband Misson was seriously injured.
After being rescued by passers-by, Missen was sent to the hospital for two days and finally recovered a life.
Jessie's body was found in a pond near Xiaoqiao the next day, with multiple stab wounds and beatings all over her body, and she died tragically.
The lovers had been separated for five years, and they got married after all the hardships, but they were separated forever after only three months of their marriage.
After receiving the report, the Indian police filed the case as a robbery, rape, or murder, and under the double testimony of the eyewitness and the male victim, it took only 12 days to apprehend all the four murderers.
It is rare that the police in India are so efficient! Just as everyone was expecting to punish the four murderers severely and give Jesse justice, the result was once again disappointing.
For four full years after the four murderers were arrested, the Indian side has been procrastinating for the sake of being released on bail pending trial and waiting in line for trial in the courts, and there is no news.
Why do you say that the messengers behind the four murderers are Jessie's mother and the patriarch's uncle?
After the police investigation, the four murderers were all tenant farmers in the family of a man named Dalshan.
Dalshan is Jessie's patriarch's uncle Badsha's in-laws. Before Jessie was killed, the two families had frequent contact. In just two weeks, Badsha made 27 calls to the Indian in-laws. The last call was made less than two hours before Jessie was killed.
Before contacting the family, it is hard not to doubt that it was the old patriarch who instructed her family to buy murderers in India and clean up Jessie, a rebellious woman who had shamed the family.
However, because the old patriarch is rich and powerful, even though people in the Sikh community in Vancouver have long suspected him, they are all quiet and wise.Except for one person, Jessie's high school principal-Jim.
Jim's daughter and Jessie grew up playing with each other. She is the best friend mentioned above who helped Jessie escape.
Because of his daughter, Jim knows better about Jessie. He couldn't believe that in Canada, which has always been known for its democracy and freedom, there would still be weird things that would force young girls to marry seniors in sixties.
Later, after learning that Jessie was married to Love, he was unfortunately killed, and Jim was even more grief and indignation.
So shortly after Jessie was killed, this old principal who had no blood relationship with her went to the Royal Mounted Police to report the crime out of justice, and asked for a thorough investigation of the murder from Canada. .
Surprisingly, the Mounted Police decisively refused his request. The reason given is simple:
"Although the deceased Jessie was of Canadian nationality, the murder occurred in India. The Indian police have also arrested the murderer and determined the case. Out of respect for the other party’s judicial system, we in Canada It is not convenient to intervene.
As for the fact that the mastermind of this case is still hiding in Canada, do you have any definitive evidence that Jessie’s mother and uncle were involved? I can’t investigate my citizens just because of suspicion!
The principal who had eaten his door closed his door and did not give up. He wrote several letters to several local councilors in a row, hoping that they could put pressure on the police.
However, due to fear of the local Sikhs’ social status and the votes in their hands, these congressmen are all unwilling to go to this muddy water.
Could it be said that a young and innocent life was sacrificed in vain? The principal didn't believe that everyone was so indifferent, so looking forward and backward, he turned his attention to the media this time.
With his persistent efforts, Canadian national television CBC finally agreed to investigate the matter. They carefully reviewed the large amount of evidence provided by the old principal, and even sent reporters to India.See what the reason is, the murderer who killed Jessie has never been punished!
Finally, the investigation found that the four murderers had been released on bail with heavy money for the past five years. They have not been in jail, and have been living a free man's life outside with gusto. The guarantor of the four murderers is the old patriarch’s in-law Dahlshan.
What's even more annoying is that Jessie's husband Misson was put in jail. What has actually happened?
It turned out that Misson, who was seriously injured that year, spent more than three months in the hospital before being discharged. With great grief, he raised money everywhere, and barely buried his wife.
As soon as the funeral was finished, a few police officers broke into the house and handcuffed them away without saying anything. The reason was that a widow in a neighboring village accused him of rape.
This is obviously a slander made out of nothing, but if you want to add a crime, why should there be no cause for it? Before the pain of bereavement healed, Misson was detained in a poor prison for four years.
During this period, he suffered from hepatitis and lung disease and almost died unexpectedly.
With the help of the CBC reporter, Misson finally hired a new assistance lawyer. He strongly urged the police to perform a careful DNA test on the semen sample provided by the widow, but the result of this test turned out to be inconsistent with Missen's.
With the support of this evidence, Misson, who had been in prison for four years in vain, was finally acquitted.
Seeing that things were revealed, the widow confessed her false accusation back then, and immediately confessed to Dahlshan, the master behind the scenes.
In view of the double pressure from the domestic and foreign media, the Indian police had to quickly arrest the four murderers and conduct a second interrogation.
This time finally got the result. They admitted that it was indeed the old patriarch's in-law Dahlshan who paid for them to do it, and they demanded that Jesse must be killed, otherwise they would not get the reward.
With the confession of the four murderers, Dahlshan was also arrested.
In October 2005, the fifth year after Jess's death, the Indian side slashed the mess, and the case went to a public trial. As a result, seven defendants including Dalshan were sentenced to life imprisonment.
is also in this public trial,People learned from Dalshan's mouth that this was an honorary murder. And the chief ambassador who killed Jessie was her mother and uncle who were far away in Canada!
Although there is a witness from India, Royal Canadian Mounted Police resolutely refused to open the case due to insufficient evidence.
It doesn't matter if you don't file a case, the old patriarch Badsha also elected himself a councillor in the next few years, letting himself be caught in the political and business circles.
Seeing that the real murderer is still at large, this unfamiliar old principal is still running around, trying to get justice to Jessie, but he still hits a wall everywhere.
In the following six years, the old principal still complained everywhere, and things got worse. Many media have spoken out. Many convenience stores opened by Sikhs in BC have also posted posters to seek justice for Jessie.
In addition, books related to the truth about Jessie’s murder were published, which revealed many details of Jessie’s murder, and even Jessie’s aunt and cousin’s real-name testimony to her mother and uncle’s motives and evidence for killing Jessie.
In the face of huge public controversy and hard evidence, in January 2012, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced the arrest of the patriarch Badsha and Jessie’s mother and filed a first-degree murder charge against them.
At this time, it has been almost 12 years since Jesse was killed.
In this year, the gang rape case of a black bus in India shocked the world. Behind these inhumane murders, what is prominently reflected is the low status of Indian women and their long-term enslavement by the patriarchal society.
Both are Indian women, even though Jessie grew up in Canada, she still hasn't escaped the same fate.
However, it is a pity that the exciting scene has not appeared for a long time.
Because Canada and India belong to the Commonwealth countries, they signed the extradition agreement a long time ago. According to the terms of the agreement, although the victim in this case is Canadian, the original plan was also carried out in Canada. But since the actual crime was committed in India,Therefore, the two Canadian principal offenders need to be sent to India for trial.
With this layer, Jessie's mother and uncle tried their best to deny escape.
First, after the court's mandatory order was issued, they kept appealing all the way, and finally moved the case to the Supreme Court of Canada. Due to the tortoise speed schedule in the Canadian courts, this appeal period is as long as six years.
Later, after all the appeals were rejected, the two cruel scums who killed their daughters without blinking began to pretend to be sick again.
They deliberately transformed themselves into a sickly appearance, and they had to sit in a wheelchair even when going to court, and they also took out a series of doctor's certificates through their relationship, saying how bad their health is. If you forcibly send yourself back to India by plane, you will definitely die on the road.
But this time, the police were not deceived by them again.
At the beginning of 2019, Jessie's mother and uncle were eventually taken on a plane and sent back to India for trial.
The Indian side quickly pre-reviewed them, but there was no news later.
Under a judicial system like India, will these two people live freely outside like the four previous murderers? No one dared to pack a ticket!
all say that justice may be late, but it will never be absent! But this time, whether justice will come in the future, many people still maintain a pessimistic attitude.
Finally, let’s talk about the other protagonist of this tragic story, Missen.
After Misen was released from prison, he returned to his home. He first earned some savings through part-time work, and later used these savings to open a small shop, and the business was still booming.
Despite the improvement in material life, Misson did not remarry in the 20 years after Jesse died.
He will never forget the vigorous love back then, the newlywed wife who used to stay lingering and tried her best to protect herself at the last moment of life.
On the night of the case,All the enthusiasm in Missen's life died with his wife, leaving only a shell that lived in the world!
