North Bay Man, 63, Arrested in Bludgeoning Death of Family Member

SOLANO COUNTY, CA -- Suisun City police arrested a man early this morning on suspicion of killing his daughter-in-law with a hammer at their home Tuesday, March 7.

Amarjit Singh, 63, confessed to the bludgeoning death of 29-year-old Shameena Bibi, whose body was found Tuesday morning in the garage at the family home in the 800 block of Blue Bill Way, police said.

Police said they believe Singh was upset because Bibi was being disrespectful, and he confronted her with a hammer in the garage.

Bibi, her husband, 2-year-old son, mother-in-law and Singh lived in the northern Suisun City home, police said.

Police received a call from a family member around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday about a body in the garage. They found Bibi with blunt force trauma to the head and she was declared dead at the scene, police said.

The death investigation required the services of a Punjabi translator. The Solano County District Attorney's Office and FBI joined the investigation that included interviews with the family until late Tuesday
night, police said.

Singh, seen in the above photo, confessed to the slaying during a follow-up interview shortly after midnight today, and he was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder, police said.
