VANCOUVER - Friends and family of Paul Cheema gathered in Delta, B.C., today to remember the man who was questioned but never charged in the death of his wife, elementary school principal Shemina Hirji.

She was killed in July.

Hirji's name was brought up several times during the service, which was attended by about 200 people.

A picture of the pair on their wedding day greeted mourners as they made their way into the funeral home.

During the service, Cheema's niece thanked him for making her a flower girl at the couple's wedding.

The 34-year-old Cheema was found dead in his parents' basement earlier this week. Police don't suspect foul play.
