Episode 327: Maple Batalia, a 19-year-old college student studying health sciences, was also a working model and actress and loved to paint. On the night of September 28, 2011, after a late-night study session at Simon Fraser University\u2019s Surrey campus, she was shot and attacked with a knife in a parking lot as she left the campus library. The savage nature of the attack left her with multiple gunshot wounds and severe stab wounds to her head. Despite efforts to save her, Maple succumbed to her injuries at a Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminister.\xa0\nSuspicion immediately fell on Maple\u2019s ex-boyfriend, Gurjinder (Gary) Dhaliwal, with whom she\u2019d broken up a month before. Dhaliwal refused to leave Maple alone and obsessively contacted her since their breakup, and he had been violent with her. Days before her murder, Dhaliwal had violently confronted Maple, and police became involved, telling him to stay away. Dhaliwal claimed innocence after Maple\u2019s slaying, but his relationship with his friend Gursimar (Gary) Bedi proved to be his undoing.\nSources:\n2016 BCSC 1930 (CanLII) | R. v.
