Jose Lopez , 26 , sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole for 20 years .

Second of two hitmen who gunned down Ripudaman Singh Malik in July 2022 was sentenced Friday .

Malik was acquitted of all charges in the 1985 Air India bombing that left 329 dead.

Malik 's daughter-in-law urged Lopez to name those behind the murder plot.

“They each movingly described Mr. Malik ’s integral role in their family unit, his significant contributions to his greater community, and the irreplaceable loss that his murder has caused in their family,” he said. “It is still clear that the impact of this offence on those left behind has been very severe.” The absence of information about who hired the hit men reflects a trend in B.C. where shooters in contract killings have been pleading guilty to lesser charges without providing any details about those paying to get people killed. More to come.
