Quebec father who drowned his children tells jury he has no memory of killings
Kamaljit Arora testified to no memory of drowning his children, citing fentanyl use and severe depression since 2020, while the Crown alleges premeditated murder.
- In Laval, the court heard that Kamaljit Arora testified he has no memory after drowning his children in February 2026, citing fentanyl use and mental health issues.
- Arora told jurors he had suffered mental-health issues since 2020, including severe depression, and said he bought what he thought was fentanyl with intent to die by suicide.
- Arora has admitted causing the deaths but pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and faces charges including attempted murder and strangulation, while a publication ban protects the victims' names and he said he woke up handcuffed in hospital.
- The prosecution says it will prove that Arora's actions were premeditated, supporting first-degree murder counts in front of the jury.
- Arora told the jury he has no memory of the day he drowned his 13-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son, stating he consumed what he believed was fentanyl on that day.
