Amjad Khan And Naim Saghir Of Surrey Accused Of Killing Tasha Lynn Rossette!
SURREY – The accused South Asian murderer’s roommate says he admitted to killing the pregnant woman in Surrey. Ravi Singh says he was asleep when his roommate Naim Saghir woke him late one night in November 2005.
Saghir looked “frazzled,” Singh testified in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday. “He knocked on my door,” said Singh. “He asked me for help. He looked pale and had scratches on him.”
The red scratches, Singh said, looked like “nail marks” and were on Saghir’s lower arm and neck.
Singh was testifying recently at the trial of Amjad Khan and Naim Saghir, who are both charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the Nov. 20, 2005 death of 21-year-old Tasha Lynn Rossette. This is the second trial for the pair, after a 2011 B.C. Court of Appeal decision overturned their 2008 convictions, granting a re-trial, reported Surrey Leader.
Rossette’s body was found Nov. 22, 2005 in the entrance of her Surrey home. She had been stabbed dozens of times and her throat was slashed. A single mother of a three-year-old daughter, Rossette was 17 weeks pregnant with a second child when she was murdered.
Singh, now 30, was a mechanic in 2005 and met Khan after working on a couple of his cars. Khan introduced Singh to Saghir and eventually Saghir and Singh became roommates. Singh said while Khan and Saghir dealt drugs, he did not.
Testifying in front of Justice Ian Josephson, Singh said during their friendship he remembered Khan speaking several times about “his headache.” Khan told him there was a girl he’d gotten pregnant who didn’t want to have an abortion.
