Avtar Grewal found guilty of killing his wife in Ahwatukee in 2007

PHOENIX(TIP): An Indian origin man accused of killing his estranged wife in Arizona in 2007 before fleeing to India for several years has been convicted of first-degree murder.

Twelve years after Avtar Grewal, 44, killed his 30-year-old wife Navneet Kaur, a jury has found him guilty of first-degree murder for his wife’s death on July 16.

According to media reports, Grewal killed Navneet Kaur in her Ahwatukee house in 2007 after she told him she wanted a divorce. He strangled her and then submerged her in a bathtub of water and fled to India. He was arrested by international authorities and extradited back to the US in 2011.

His sentencing is scheduled for August 23.
