Crime Beat: Picture Perfect - The shattered dreams of Maple Batalia | S3 E15 

Ain't that the truth.🙏R.I.P.Maple Beautifull Maple gone to soon Rest with the Angels.So sad.😪💔 .

He should be deported.

I have so much anger when I see or hear stories like this. Stastics show that a person is most vulnerable to an attack by a former partner right after the person breaks up with said partner. Maple did everything correctly. After Gary approached her and her male companion at Tim Hortons and Gary attacked Maple's companion in front of her. She went to the police for protection. A peace bond was issued for Gary to stay away from Maple. By doing this, she & her family thought she was protected and would be safe. I am baffled that police know these stastics about domestic partner abuse, and they knew how vulnerable Maple was....Why the hell did they not take the time to trail Gary and check in on what he was up to after he was presented with the Peace Bond? There are too many offenders in Canada that slip through these Peace Bonds. Why can't there be something put into place so these offenders be tracked by police? A very similar situation occurred in 1972 to my aunt in London ON. She had separated from her abusive husband. She had moved out of their martial home when she had the separation papers served to her husband. On the papers, her new address was revealed to him. Once he found out where she and their 3 young children were, he started stalking them all. Following the oldest child to school every morning. Following my aunt when she went to work, even finding out the name and address of the childcare hired to look after the children. Once, the nanny reported to my aunt that a man in a white Chevy Nova was following her to and from my aunt's house. She called the police to find out what she could/should do. Talking out a peacebond was suggested to my aunt and the nanny. The next morning, my aunt arranged for my grandmother to come to the house to watch the children, and she and the nanny went to the police station and filed for the Peace Bonds two seperate one for the nanny and a second for my aunt. By describing the white Chevy Nova & the plate number, the police could look up to find out it was my aunt's estranged husband that was stalking them. The peacebonds were served to him within 24 hours of when they had been filed. The following day, the nanny came out that morning to go to work only to find all of 45:00 her tires slashed on her car. She called police to report it, and let her know she would not be making it to work that afternoon. Thankfully, my grandma was still at my aunt's house, and she was able to help with the child care that afternoon. My aunt went to work that afternoon she was only working a short shift that day 4 hours, so she was able to load all the kids & grandma in the car to take grandma home to Byron. The white Chevy Nova was spotted by my aunt a few cars behind her while driving to Byron. The car did not follow her to my grandma's house. My aunt and the children were all in their car and headed back home. They all arrived back home, and it was bath time for the kids, then snack, a story, and then bedtime. After the children were all tucked into bed for the night. My aunt came downstairs to make lunches for the next day, called the nanny to see if she was able to get her car repaired, and asked her what the police suspected about her tires being slashed the night before? The police claimed that it was most likely some kids who had been acting up in the neighborhood as there were 5 other houses in her area where tires had been slashed. After my aunt was sitting in her living room watching TV and she felt something cold upon the back of her head. It was a sawed-off shot gun held by her estranged husband. Long story short, my aunt and her children endured 20 hours of torture and abuse at gun point by her estranged husband. After threatening to kill them all and himself. He started getting tired and eventually started falling asleep. The oldest child was sent over to the neighbors house to have them contact polce. My aunt had written a note for the neighbors to let them know what to tell police. The police were contacted and arrived at my aunts house. They were able to arrest her estranged husband without incident, and he was charged. It has taken my aunt years to recover from that night, and she still suffers symptoms of PTSD to this day. All of her children now grown adults have issues with anxiety, and her oldest child also has PTSD from the entire ordeal. I firmly believe that the person receiving a peace bond should be monitored more closely by police after it is served. The tire slashing of the nanny's and other cars in her neighborhood were done by my aunt's estranged husband as well. Now, if the police had approached my aunt's estranged husband about the nanny's tires being slashed instead of assuming that it was just kids in her neighborhood acting up. However, the police officers attending to the tire incident had no idea that there had been a peace bond issued to my aunt's estranged husband the day before the tire slashed.

Something more needs to be done to protect women & men after taking out a peace bond against a domestic partner, boyfriend, or girlfriend or same sex partner. To me, it seems that there is not much enforcement of a peace bond by police. I truly feel this needs to change for the sake of Maple and others. Come on, Canada, we can do betterand we need to do better.

The justice system sucks everywhere , the system is messed up there is no justice in keeping someone alive for taking a beautiful life away from here friends and family ,in the uk it cost £30,000 to house a convict and a officer is only paid £24,000 depending on how long you have been in service I was a officer for many years and slowly became to realise the system is corrupt and left and I'm so much happier now

Thanks for that

So sad losing your life to somone called gurjinder dhaliwhalnahasapampitalon

Absolutely. You can say that a thousand times over. The guys get to do anything they want and throw tantrums and even commit violent acts when they don't get their way.

Teach them how to deal with rejection and how to respect, treat women

So true, the parents of Gurjinder Dhaliwhal raised a monster,

100%

Well said.

Have you been to Australia the justice system is worse

​@@harisbajric3438slightly worse but it's very close. Australia 's justice system is beyond pathetic. No argument.

Indeed. However, courts are right to reduce the sentence when it is a crime of passion and not a crime committed for greed and profit. I think it is right because, unlike a person who kills for money, this person is already undergoing agony for killing someone with whom he had been together for five years.

I totally agree. I don’t buy that he was there to target the guys at all. He was there, laying in weight, to murder her.

Exactly! He had already planned it, purchased gun etc. He probably planned on doing a drive by shooting, to kill her. And at last minute he got out and used his knife, possibly cuz of the hug. Regardless of hug, or guy or not, he was there to kill her.

My thoughts she hunted her down!!! periodt this was premeditated 1st Degree Murder

It's like these men follow a script. The same behaviours, the same patterns. Remarkable.

Thank your God.It was not your Portion.((time)) Ur Still need to be needed Hèreeeeee Amen.bless🙏

My ex tried to kill me too. I was lucky to get away with my life. The cops don’t do anything for victims in canada it’s sick.

@@Diamon.d They only care about Billionaires, they are private security for them, not for the public.

It’s crazy that these women will even date a man that is violent and controlling. Usually just dating the appearance

yes he looks like a loser in that mug shot for sure

To young to get involve with a boyfriend at14yrs that's Y he could contrôle her that Much by treatening her family+fiscal abuse etc.unfortunately It was to late when she wanted out.So very v Sad. 💘💔💘💔💘💔🙏mAy God Give them Strength. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The kids would love that

I was told ‘ they are not babysitters’ - it’s not the system - it’s the people behind it - no less wicked

I have a daughter and I am fearful for safety due to men. Luckily, she is with a kind respectful young man but you never know. Plus, there can be violence from other men, such as sexual attacks.

We need to educate men, not women.

@@luns486 Yes, it's men who need to change, not women - I say that as a man.

I believe this may be a culture crime of sorts.

Sentences for murder in Canada never seem long enough 😔

Maple was beautiful but not with brain.. She choose sick, psycho guy for herself...

It is life. He’s only eligible for parole after 20, but no judge will grant it to him

@@allegedlyandfacts Don't hold your breath on that amigo, this monster might get early release for being a "good boy" while in prison. The only one doing life is Paul Bernardo because the prosecutors screwed it up with Karla.

Well said as someone who has bin in i would deal with him if i could but he is probably in pc

I totally am with you on this. This story of Maple is only one of MANY. It happens over and over. Victims of IPV NEED to be believed and police need to act pre-emptively. The sad reality is that these types of abusers rarely get better after therapy. It only makes them more manipulative as they learn the lingo and use it against their partner.

Yes, these type of men don't take well to just being told no.

You do realize this is an edited security footage...right? As a former SFU student that left a few months before she was murdered, I can tell you there is cctv everywhere at all campuses

What is the camera action automatic by the computer or was it being manipulated by a person?

@@Blakpepa And yet 27 seven people gave a like to this guy. Some people just don't have any imagination and love to comment on anything.

@@Blakpepait clearly says the camera pans in on her, the zooming in on her is the original footage. Which is a little suss considering she was being stalked. But who knows, maybe it’s computer generated, maybe it was run by a person but it was just some random security guard who was bored and thought she was pretty. Or he had access to the security camera somehow, which seems the least likely.

They were the same age. It's not 'normal' in our culture but dating is high school is normal in Canadian culture it was either she did it with her family knowing or she did it behind their backs - either way she probably would have continued to date him.

Was looking for this comment. This happens in Indian culture when people are desperate to emulate western dating scenes. 14 is far too young to start dating.

not common in the culture but like someone else said she would have done it anyways behind their back. as a parent i wouldnt have allowed it and told them they need to leave my house if they are going to sneak around my back. I didnt date until i turned 19 and was in university. I know many indian girls did that i went to HS with and they all did it in secret and some were beat by their parents when they came to know about it. This family is very modern that they openly accepted it.

I am indian n girls n boys start doing everything behind the parents back at the age of 13-14.. what culture??.. i have always seen it happen all around me.. u cant stop children from doing things ur not even aware of..

RIP Maple Batalia

True 100 💯

Most Indians/Asians marry young. And they knew the family so I believe they thought...they would marry by 21 or so

How. Have 24 hour security on the poor girl

@@chantellegattrell7073 He could have told him that his plan was psychotic and stupid or he could've went to the police - that's all he had to do, instead he went along with it and helped murder her

It was a technique to get him emotional enough to confess his crimes, which it worked in the end. You can see later in the interview the parents clearly state they would never be able to forgive him.

Who Maple?

Ya Hollywood is one gigantic cult

Strategy to get an answer.

*100%!!! Zero exceptions, no questions asked.* And sadly, anyone who disagrees, does not value human life, in the least. IMHO, of course.

Seems like dad was more concerned with fitting in and allowing his 14 year old child to have a boyfriend.

​@@devianadkar7969 Yeah. Dad's a fool.

Moral: don't abruptly went into a relationship.. Think twice before making any decision
