CTV News has learned that a man who has been accused in connection to the death of Nadine Skow was supposed to have been deported due to a sexual assault conviction.
Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officials confirmed Silva Koshwal, 38, was under a removal order due to a sexual assault conviction that order dated back to 2010.
However, it was stayed by the Immigration and Refugee Board until January 2016 – the temporary stay meant he couldn’t be deported.
Koshwal has been charged with second degree murder and offering an indignity to a body.
On Tuesday, August 25, Skow, 38, was found dead inside her north central apartment suite – the Medical Examiner later confirmed she died due to stab wounds.
Skow’s death is Edmonton’s 13th homicide of 2015.
