Surrey woman receives Carnegie award for heroism
By Dan Ferguson - Surrey North Delta Leader
When she heard screaming coming from the downstairs basement suite in her Surrey home on Oct. 29, 2006, Shalinder Basran went to investigate with her adult daughter Tajinder.
When they forced their way inside, they saw Navreet Waraich bleeding on the floor.
Navreet's husband Jatinder was standing over her with a knife in his hand.
"Save me," Navreet begged.
"Please save me."
The young mother of a five-year-old boy and her husband were renting the suite from Basran.
When Tajinder pulled out her cell phone to dial 911, Jatinder moved toward her.
