Us Sikh Family Murdered

The man accused of kidnapping and then killing the eight-month-old baby and her family earlier this month on Thursday pleaded not guilty.

Jesus Salgado, the man involved in the kidnapping and killing, was arrested on October 6. He was charged on Monday with four counts of first-degree murder, one for each life lost.

The grieving relatives of the four Indian-origin Sikhs killed in the US have raised more than USD 300,000 to support their families in California but also their elderly parents back in India.

The man involved in the kidnapping and killing of the Indian-origin Sikh family in California, including an eight-month-old baby girl, was previously also jailed for robbery after he held a family he had then worked for at gunpoint 17 years ago.

The brother of a man arrested for allegedly abducting and killing four members of an Indian-origin family in California earlier this week, has also been arrested for being an accessory to the crime, local media reported citing authorities.

Consulate General of India in San Francisco is in contact with the family of the four members of Indian origin who were murdered in California and is providing all the necessary assistance, India said on Friday.

Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said that the suspect in the murders of the Indian-origin family in the US state of California had an old dispute with the dead.

The suspect in the killing of an Indian-origin Sikh family, including an eight-month-old baby girl, had once worked for the family's trucking business and had a longstanding dispute, authorities and a relative said.

"There's a special place in hell for this guy," the Sheriff of Merced County in California has said of the suspect who abducted four members of an Indian-origin Sikh family, including an eight-month-old baby girl, found dead in an orchard.

Four members of a Sikh family, including three women, were shot dead at their home in Cincinnati in US on Sunday. One of them was an "Indian national on a visit to the US while others were persons of Indian origin", External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted. It was "not a hate crime", she said.
