NRI will serve 15 years for murdering his 22 years old pregnant wife

London, January 29 2007

NRI Jaskiran Bal was found guilty of the murder of his wife, Marie Bal and he will serve at least 15 years in jail.

English born Marie Bal, 22, originally from Gorse Hill in Swindon was murderered on March 17, 2000 and after six weeks her body was found in the knotted duvet cover, partly submerged in the drainage canal near the Barking by-pass.

In 2002, Jaskiran Bal was found guilty of the murder of his wife, Marie Bal. The case uncovered an unhappy marriage dominated by fear and abuse. The mother of Marie, JENNY BASSETT always knew who murdered her daughter Marie and her unborn grandchild. The couple had a son and Bal insisted Marie assume the role of a traditional Indian wife, said prosecutor Mr Aftab Jafferjee.

The court heard that Bal, 28, had simply tired of his wife after beginning an affair with a teenage girl, Tanya Shoaib. But he was trapped when police found a photograph of him posing in his underpants on the same paint-stained duvet that he used to conceal his wife's body. Marie had taken the picture seven years before. Jaskiran Bal was convicted of murder and jailed in April 2002.

Jaskiran Bal, came to London from India in 1993 and started seeing Marie Bassett, shortly afterwards when she was just 16.
