Five men who ‘executed’ a DPD driver in what has been described ‘a significant degree of planning’ as he was out delivering parcels, have been jailed for a combined total of 122 years. Aurman Singh, 23, was brutally hacked to death by a gang who were armed with an axe, a hockey stick, a knife, a golf club and a shovel, on August 21 last year.

The delivery driver “didn’t stand a chance” as he was ambushed on the side of the road in Shrewsbury, the court heard. Arshdeep Singh, 24, Jagdeep Singh, 22, Shivdeep Singh, 26, and Manjot Singh, 24, all from the Black Country, were all found guilty of murder following a trial.
