Each of the four men will serve a minimum of 28 years behind bars. Additionally, Sukhmandeep Singh from Peterborough, suspected of providing information about Aurman Singh’s deliveries to the attackers, received a 10-year sentence for manslaughter.
During the trial, authorities found no clear motive for the brutal assault on Aurman Singh.
Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Mark Bellamy of West Mercia Police, leading the investigation, expressed satisfaction with the substantial sentences, emphasizing the danger posed by the convicted individuals and their removal from society.
Bellamy underscored the message sent by the verdict, warning potential offenders that violent crimes will be met with vigorous pursuit and prosecution.
The verdict serves as a reminder of the UK’s commitment to combating violent crime and ensuring justice for victims, while signalling the resolve of law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable.
