A 66-year-old man in Pennsylvania will spend decades behind bars after admitting to killing his wife and mother inside of his home three years ago, then calling his children and saying, “I killed your mother and grandmother.” Delaware County Common Pleas Court Judge George M. Green last week ordered Iqbal Singh to serve a sentence of 23 to 60 years in a state correctional facility for the slayings of his wife, Jaspal Kaur, and mother, Nasib Kaur, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Singh reached a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead guilty to one count of third-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault causing significant bodily injury with extreme indifference. Judge Green sentenced Singh to 20 to 40 years on the murder charge and three to 20 years on the assault charge. In exchange for pleading guilty, prosecutors dropped charges of criminal homicide, first-degree murder, and possession of a weapon with criminal intent.

According to a copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by the Delaware County Times Daily, officers with the Newtown Township Police Department at about 9:46 a.m. on Aug. 23, 2020, responded to an emergency call at a residence located in the first block of Rockwood Road. The caller — later identified as Singh — reportedly told the emergency dispatcher that he had just killed his wife and mother.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders knocked on the front door. Singh was “covered in blood” when he greeted the officers, telling them that he had just committed a double murder.

“Police asked Singh if there was anyone inside the residence hurt,” the department wrote in a press release. “Singh advised officers that he had killed his wife and mother and that they were inside the residence.”

Days later, Singh reportedly told investigators that he was suffering from depression and had bipolar disorder, saying he “never” would have harmed his wife or mother if he were well.
