British Sikh Man Stabbed To Death In London, 5 Arrested
Gurmuk Singh, a 30-year-old British Sikh man, was stabbed to death in Ilford, East London. Amardeep Singh, 27, has been charged with his murder.
A 30-year-old British Sikh man was fatally stabbed in east London in an attack involving individuals known to each other, according to the UK police.
Gurmuk Singh, also known as Gary, died last week on Felbrigge Road, Ilford, East London, and was officially identified by the Metropolitan Police on Thursday.
The police stated that officers had arrested Amardeep Singh, 27, on suspicion of the murder that occurred on July 23. He has been charged with one count of murder and remains in custody pending his next court appearance at London's Old Bailey for trial on January 5, 2026.
'Police were called by the London Ambulance Service to reports of an altercation at a residential address," a PTI report quoted Met Police's statement. 'Officers attended as Gary was treated for stab wounds. Despite the best efforts of the paramedics, he sadly died at the scene," it said.
Detectives also arrested a 29-year-old man and three women aged 29, 30 and 54 in connection with the brutal killing. They have all since been released on bail until October while the police investigation continues.
A post-mortem examination has indicated the cause of death as a stab wound to the left thigh, with an inquest opened and adjourned while the police investigation into the attack is ongoing.
Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke from the Met's Specialist Crime North unit said at the time of the attack that detectives believed it was an 'isolated incident".
'An incident of this nature sends shockwaves throughout the local area and we understand the direct impact on the community. People can expect to see an uptick in police presence while officers conduct initial investigations. Please do not hesitate to speak to them if you have any concerns at all," she said.

Man drowns off Juhu beach in Mumbai, body washes ashore 14 hours later
Mumbai, Aug 2 (PTI) A 20-year-old man, who was feared drowned off Juhu area in Mumbai, was found dead around 14 hours later as his body got washed ashore, officials said on Saturday. The deceased was identified as Vighnesh Murgesh Devendram, they said. The man had ventured into the Arabian Sea at the Silver Beach near Godrej Gate in the western suburb of Juhu around 8.30 am on Friday. He went untraceable after that and was feared drowned, a civic official said. Officials said Devendran and another person, identified as Rajkumar Subba (22), had started drowning some 200 metres off the Juhu beach. While Subba was rescued by a lifeguard, the fire brigade carried out a search operation for Devendran, but the operation was halted at 1.45 pm due to high tide. However, local fishermen and a team of Mumbai police found him lying motionless on the beach around 10.30 pm on Friday. From there, he was rushed to a nearby civic hospital, where doctors declared him dead, he added. The Arabian sea remains choppy at most times during monsoon and officials routinely ask people to not venture in for swimming, fishing etc. PTI KK NP view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 16:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Foul Smell At Mumbai Airport Leads To Rs 8 Crore Drug Bust, 4 Arrested
Last Updated: When the passengers were collecting their bags and attempted to exit through the green channel, meant for those with nothing to declare, they were intercepted by customs officers A foul odour at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport triggered an unexpected drug bust, leading to the arrest of four passengers who had just landed from an international flight. Authorities say the operation unfolded after a vigilant official from the Air Intelligence Unit detected a suspicious stench near the baggage claim area. According to sources, the four individuals were waiting by the baggage belt after disembarking from their flight when the official, trained to recognise certain narcotics by smell, noticed the unusual odour. He immediately alerted customs personnel stationed near the terminal's green channel. When the passengers proceeded to collect their bags and attempted to exit through the green channel, meant for those with nothing to declare, they were intercepted by customs officers. A detailed examination of their luggage revealed multiple packets of hydroponic weed weighing a total of 8.012 kgs. The estimated street value of the seized contraband is around Rs 8 crore, officials said. All four passengers were arrested on the spot. 'Hydroponic weed," a senior customs official explained, 'is a high-grade variant of cannabis cultivated using specialised techniques. It's significantly more potent and expensive than conventional ganja, making it highly sought after in the black market." The arrests have raised concerns within security agencies about a growing trend of high-grade narcotics being smuggled into India through commercial air travel. Investigators are currently interrogating the suspects to determine whether they were acting independently or are part of a larger international drug syndicate. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 16:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
