Kidnapped Indian-origin Sikh family found dead in California
Four members of an Indian-origin Sikh family, including an eight-month-old baby girl, who were kidnapped by an armed man in California earlier this week have been found dead in a rural orchard, authorities said as they were working to determine the motive behind the "horribly senseless" killing. "Our worst fears have been confirmed," Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke said at a news conference on Wednesday night. "A whole family wiped out, and we still don't know why," Warnke, who was visibly emotional and frustrated at what happened to the Indian-origin family in the US state of California. The family, originally from Harsi Pind in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, was kidnapped from their newly-opened trucking business in Merced County, California, on Monday. Sheriff 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 in a remote area
