Sentencing set for one of four accused in 2024 South Surrey killing

Sentencing proceedings for Manvir Singh Basram are scheduled for 10 a.m. Dec. 4 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, according to the BC Prosecution Service.

Basram, of Surrey, pleaded guilty Aug. 7 to one count of conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the June 2024 shooting death of Yuvraj Goyal.

Goyal, 28, was found dead in the 900-block of 164 Street in South Surrey on June 7, 2024, after police received reports of gunfire shortly before 9 a.m. Police announced first-degree murder charges the following day. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Goyal had no prior police contact.

A trial for the remaining accused — Sahib Singh Basra and Harkirat Singh Jhutty of Surrey, and Keilon Deshann Francois of Ontario — is scheduled to begin Sept. 7, 2027 and is expected to last about three months.
