The retrial of a Calgary mother accused of strangling her teenage daughter will be delayed for at least seven months for health reasons.

Aset Magomadova initially faced a murder charge in the death of her 14-year-old daughter, Aminat, in 2007. During the trial, she testified that she acted in self-defence when her daughter came at her with a knife.

She was convicted of manslaughter and got a suspended sentence, but last year, the Alberta Court of Appeal ordered a new trial on the charge of second-degree murder.

Uncertain future for kids of Surrey woman murdered overseas

By Kevin Diakiw – Surrey North Delta Leader

With their mother murdered and father in a Dutch prison, three Surrey kids whose visas are about to run out are facing an uncertain future.

Kamaljit Kaur flew to her former home in The Hague in January to tidy up some post-divorce matters, such as the sale of her car and house.

Her body was found Feb. 1 in the living room of her Netherlands home.

Her estranged husband in is jail after being arrested for an alleged assault on Kaur last year.

Meanwhile, Kaur’s body is being flown back to Surrey Friday for a Saturday funeral.

Kaur’s 14-year-old daughter Preet, and sons Goldy, 12 and Sunny, 5, are now staying in Newton with Kaur’s mother Gurbax, but their status in this country is in question.

Charan Gill, CEO of Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS), has been asked to help the family “navigate the system,” and has begun to raise funds for the funeral services and the cost of the children’s continued care.
