A dramatic move:Extradition halted for BC pair accused of honour killing.

Two B.C. residents who have been accused of arranging the 2000 honour killing of a Maple Ridge woman, Jassi Sidhu have had their extradition to India halted after a court ruling that came on Thursday.

The news represents just the latest bump in a long legal road to see the pair tried in India for conspiracy to commit the murder of 25-year-old Jassi Sidhu in 2000. Malkit Sidhu was the victim's mother, and Badesha was her uncle.

It’s not clear when the hearing will take place, but Badesha and Sidhu are now in Toronto, and they will remain in Canada for the time being,
