The mother of a Good Samaritan shot dead execution-style by the stranded strangers he tried to help sobbed uncontrollably in court yesterday, screaming, “I want my son!”
Amarjit Singh’s anguish came as she testified about the tormenting two days when her son Rupinder Singh was missing in July 2001.
She said she had lent him her blue Lincoln Navigator on a Thursday night, and when he failed to return to the family’s Queens home, she went searching for him on Friday and Saturday – at work and at a local precinct.
“We did not hear anything. Then I got upset,” she said, wiping tears from her eyes in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
“I tried to find him, but he never go anywhere,” the mother said, noting that her son was always with family when he wasn’t working.
The mother lost her composure completely as she recalled that Saturday night, when police came to her house inquiring about her blue Lincoln Navigator, which they had found.
As her waves of sobs continued, prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi requested a recess.
Prosecutors maintain Darshen Kingsberry and Jack Govan – along with a third defendant, James Johnson, who has pleaded guilty – killed Rupinder while trying to hijack the Navigator he was graciously giving them a lift in during the early morning hours of July 20, 2001.
