He asked Salgado’s alleged accomplice to hand himself over to the police. Sheriff Warnke said the family had a truck business in the town of Merced. There, a procession will be taken out in his memory from Thursday to Sunday in the evening. The bodies of eight-month-old Aaruhi Dheri, her mother Jasleen Kaur (27), father Jasdeep Singh (36) and Jasdeep’s brother Amandeep Singh (39) were recovered from a garden near Indiana Road and Hutchinson Road on Wednesday evening. These people were kidnapped on Monday. According to public records, the family was the owner of Unison Trucking Inc., and their relatives said they had recently opened an office in a parking lot.
The sheriff said that there was a dispute between the suspect Salgado and the family for about a year. There is no information yet about what Salgado worked there and how long he worked there. Warneke said he believed the family had been murdered within an hour of the kidnapping on Monday morning. According to the sheriff’s office, the suspect’s family told officials that Salgado had confessed to having kidnapped the Sikh family. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the suspect Salgado has previously pleaded guilty to one count of robbery. He was sentenced to 11 years and was released in 2015. (agency)
