A woman fatally stabbed in a Brampton park on Friday had agreed to meet her estranged husband there, her brother has told CBC News.

Davinder Kaur, 43, had been contemplating divorce from her husband, Nav Nishan Singh, 44, according to her brother Lakhwinder Singh, who lives in the United States. Her husband left six months ago, he added.

The two met in Sparrow Park, located near Cherrytree Drive and Sparrow Court, on Friday evening and Kaur was stabbed. She died at the scene. Singh has been charged with first-degree murder. He appeared in a Brampton courtroom on Saturday.

Her brother said the two had been married for more than 20 years and had four children together. Three live in Brampton, one lives in India.

Singh said what happened in the park was undescribable. He said he was told by Kaur that her husband wanted to meet her to talk about living together again. The news of her death was devastating, he said.
