EXCLUSIVE Why a DPD driver was REALLY hacked to death with a machete: Inside Sikh gang war fuelled by immigration that BBC didn't show in documentary
Hacked to death by an axe and club-wielding gang in a 'cartel-style' execution, it is hard to conceive a more brutal death than the one inflicted upon DPD driver Aurman Singh.
Yet could the horrific murder, which also saw the 23-year-old battered with a hockey stick, golf club and shovel as he made his deliveries, have stemmed from a mere slap during a row about money?

Former prison guard was shot dead outside gym after he exposed a convict and female officer's illicit relationship, court hears
A former prison guard was shot dead in 'retaliation' after he exposed an illicit relationship between a convict and a female officer, a jury heard yesterday. Lenny Scott, who was the father of twins, was shot six times outside a gym on February 8 last year by a gunman dressed in a hi-vis jacket. The roots of the 33-year-old's killing lay in his former job at Altcourse prison in Liverpool nearly four years earlier, a murder trial jury was told. Mr Scott had searched inmate Elias Morgan's cell and found a mobile phone on March 26, 2020, Preston Crown Court was told. Not only was possession of the phone a criminal offence, but Morgan knew it contained evidence which would expose his sexual relationship with prison officer Sarah Williams, prosecutor Alex Leach KC said. Morgan told Mr Scott to 'balls up the paperwork' and even offered him £1,500 not to report it, jurors were told. But the prison officer submitted the paperwork - and from that moment 'Elias Morgan told Lenny Scott that he would get him, he said he would bide his time, but that he would get him'. Mr Leach told jurors that on February 8, 2024 Mr Scott was leaving a gym in Skelmersdale, Lancashire 'when he was approached by a man wearing a high-visibility jacket and carrying a handgun'. 'The man shot him, six times, to the head and body,' he said. 'Lenny Scott died of his injuries. 'The murder was, the prosecution says, an act of retaliation.' He told jurors that the evidence would show that Morgan 'orchestrated' the murder and 'pulled the trigger himself'. Co-defendant Anthony Cleary 'played a supporting role' by using a van to deliver an electric motorbike used by the gunman, he added. The court heard in the days after Mr Scott found the phone, he reported being threatened by Morgan. He told his father that Morgan had said words to the effect of 'I'll bide my time, but I promise I will get you' before making a gun gesture towards him. A 'visibly frightened' Mr Scott also told his former partner that Morgan had threatened him that his 'home would be blown up with his family inside'. Four days later he told a police call hander: 'I'm in fear for my family's life'. The jury heard he also reported the 'threats' to the Prison Service, saying Morgan had told him his family would be hurt if he did not 'drop' the illegal phone matter. Instead the phone was examined and Morgan was arrested, later being charged with unauthorised possession of the mobile phone. Williams, the officer with whom he'd had a relationship, later admitted three offences of misconduct in a public officer and a computer misuse offence. Morgan pleaded not guilty and his case was adjourned until February 19 - 11 days after Mr Scott was killed. Jurors were told that mobile phone evidence shows the two men spent January 3 as a 'day of reconnaissance' as part of the plan to kill Mr Scott. They visited locations including the area of his home as well as gyms he formerly and currently attended. The court heard Mr Scott had been dismissed from the Prison Service in 2021 after he punched a prisoner in the face in an unrelated incident. Morgan, now 35, and Cleary, 29, both of Edge Hill, Liverpool, both deny murder. Cleary also denies a second count of manslaughter. The trial continues.

BREAKING NEWS Karmelo Anthony formally charged with MURDER for stabbing Austin Metcalf in high school crime that stunned the country
Karmelo Anthony, the teen who has admitted to stabbing and killing a fellow high school athlete at a track meet in Texas, has been indicted by a grand jury with first-degree murder. Austin Metcalf, 17, bled out in his brother's arms after the attack by Anthony. Fricso, Texas police have said the incident stemmed from Metcalf asking Anthony to leave his team tent since he didn't go to the same school. Anthony, 17 at the time of the killing and now 18, was arrested shortly after and charged by police with first degree murder in a case that has drawn national attention over race and privilege. Today's indictment comes after the local district attorney presented evidence to a grand jury, asking jurors to uphold the first-degree murder charge. 'For weeks, my team has been presenting evidence to the grand jury. Today, I summarized that evidence, and I asked the Grand Jury to return a first degree murder indictment against Karmelo Anthony— which they did, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a press released Tuesday afternoon. 'With that indictment, the case now moves formally into the court system. From this point forward, we'll continue doing our part — fully and fairly — to pursue justice under the law. The trial schedule will be set by the court. But when the time comes, we'll be ready.'

California woman who masterminded hair-mogul husband's murder sentenced to life without parole
A woman who masterminded the killing of her husband, an internationally known hairdresser and beauty company executive, at their Los Angeles home eight years ago was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Monica Sementilli, 53, was convicted in April of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the 2017 stabbing death of Fabio Sementilli in their backyard in the upscale Woodlands Hills neighborhood. He was found by their daughter in a pool of blood with multiple wounds to his face, jawline, neck, chest and thigh. Prosecutors said Monica Sementilli conspired with her lover and former racquetball coach, Robert Baker, to kill her 49-year-old husband for a $1.6 million insurance policy. Baker, now 63, pleaded no contest in July 2023 to murder and conspiracy charges. He is serving life without the possibility of parole. Baker testified at her trial that the mother of two had nothing to do with the plot to kill her husband. 'I murdered him because I wanted her,' Baker told the court. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen rejected a defense bid to have Sementilli sentenced to 25 years to life, calling her the 'mastermind in this conspiracy to commit murder,' the Los Angeles Times reported. Coen said Baker, who carried out the attack, 'did not have the intelligence to plan the brutal, well-thought-out slaughter.' The Canadian-born Fabio Sementilli worked for decades as a trendsetting hair stylist and served as vice president of education for beauty products giant Coty Inc.
