Alleged killer of Jasmeen Kaur, whose body was found in the Flinders Ranges, revealed as Tarikjot Singh

The identity of the man charged with the alleged murder of Adelaide woman Jasmeen Kaur can be revealed after a suppression order lapsed.

The body of the 21-year-old aged care worker and nursing student, was found buried in a shallow grave in the Flinders Ranges, north of Hawker, last month. 

Kurralta Park man Tarikjot Singh, 20, has been charged with her murder.

His identity can now be revealed after a suppression order lapsed today. 

Police allege Mr Singh took Ms Kaur “by force” from the car park of her place of work — the Southern Cross Care aged care home at North Plympton — after her shift on Friday, March 5, and then murdered her.

She was reported missing at a city police station the next day.

Ms Kaur’s body was exhumed the following Monday after Mr Singh was interviewed by police and allegedly led detectives to the site.

He was charged with murder, but has denied any responsibility for her death.

Mr Singh faced the Port Augusta Magistrates Court — where the suppression order was imposed — on Tuesday, March 9, and did not apply for bail.

Ms Kaur’s body was found at Moralana Creek, 40 kilometres north of Hawker, about 100 metres from the road.

Her employer, Southern Cross Care, described her as a beautiful soul who was kind and sweet to residents.

“Our hearts ache for Jasmeen’s family and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this incredibly difficult time,” CEO David Moran said after her death was revealed.
