TIL Desk/World/Washington/ All four Sikh family members, including an eight-month-old baby girl, who were kidnapped in the United States state of California earlier this week, have been found dead in an orchard, authorities said on Wednesday. The family, originally from Harsi Pind in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, was kidnapped from their newly-opened trucking business in Merced County, California, on Monday.
Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said the bodies of 36-year-old Jasdeep Singh, 27-year-old Jasleen Kaur, their eight-month-old child Aroohi Dheri and the baby’s uncle, 39-year-old Amandeep Singh were found on Wednesday evening in an orchard near Indiana Road & Hutchinson Road. “Our worst fears have been confirmed,” he said.
Warnke said that a farm worker near the orchard found the bodies and immediately contacted authorities. All of the bodies were found close together. “There are no words to describe the anger I feel,” Warnke said during a press conference Wednesday evening. “There’s a special place in hell for this guy,” he said about Jesus Manuel Salgado, the suspect, who attempted to kill himself. “It’s horribly, horribly senseless,” he said.
