Man jailed for supplying gun in Canada fatal shooting

Alleged shooter hiding in Lanka, say police

A man who supplied the gun used by another to spray a Brampton home with bullets, killing an innocent young woman inside, has pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Jeyaganesh Satkuru yesterday got a four-year prison term in the death of Amretta Singh, 20, who was shot on March 20, 2004, as she stood in the hall of her family's home. Satkuru, 30, of Toronto wasn't present when another man fired at the home. But a few hours earlier he gave the gunman the weapon, which the assailant had previously asked him to hide until he needed it.

The alleged shooter, Vijayarajah (Vijay) Manickavasagar, 26, of Toronto is still being sought. Peel police believe he is hiding in Sri Lanka.

"I want to apologise to the victim's family," Satkuru said in court.
