The fiancé of a woman who died after she fell from a moving SUV last week had earlier pleaded guilty to participating in a “truck jacking” in Surrey.

Twenty-year-old Jujhar Khunkhun was driving the SUV the evening of Monday, Oct. 8 when the passenger side door opened and 18-year-old Sukhvir Grewal fell to her death while the vehicle was travelling down 64 Avenue near 124 Street around midnight.

The fatality is being investigated by the Surrey RCMP Major Crimes and Traffic sections.

At the time, Khunkhun was under a court order that forbid him from leaving his home at night.

He was awaiting sentencing on a charge of kidnapping in connection with a May 17th, 2006 robbery of a lumber truck in Surrey’s Port Kells neighbourhood.

Court records show Khunkhun and an associate, Harpreet Singh Chahal, pleaded guilty to one charge of kidnapping with intent to confine during an appearance in Surrey Provincial Court on July 12.

Under the Canadian Criminal Code, the offence carries a minimum sentence of four years when firearms are involved.

The maximum penalty is life imprisonment.

The sentencing hearing is set for later this month.
