A woman who lured, threatened and stabbed her daughter-in-law has been sentenced to

14 months in jail.

Her niece and daughter, who were also involved, were sentenced to 10 months yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court.

Surinder Toor, 52, her daughter, Parvinder Toor, 28, and her pregnant niece, Rajwansh Nijjar, 27, sat quietly as Madam Justice Kirsti Gill read her ruling. They showed no emotion and declined when asked if they had anything to say.

Gill said even though society wouldn't likely be at risk if they served their sentences under house arrest as suggested by their lawyer, jail was necessary to denounce the crime and deter others.

She noted the women were otherwise law-abiding citizens with community support but noted the crime was premeditated and planned.
