Four Indian-origin men in the UK were on Friday sentenced to a total of 122 years of imprisonment after they were found guilty in the murder of a 23-year-old driver, who was also of Indian heritage.

The four men, Arshdeep Singh and Jagdeep Singh from Dudley, and Shivdeep Singh and Manjot Singh from Smethwick, will all serve at least 28 years in prison.

A fifth man, Sukhmandeep Singh from Peterborough, believed to be an "insider" who sent information to the four men about Aurman Singh's deliveries on the day he was killed, was handed a 10-year prison term for manslaughter.

Earlier during the trial, the police said no evidence came out that would explain the motive behind such a brutal attack on Aurman Singh.

"Aurman’s family have understandably been left shattered when he was tragically killed in a planned and brutal attack in Shrewsbury, and my thoughts and condolences remain with them," he said.

Kristina Montgomery KC, a judge at Stafford Crown Court, called the attack "a horrifying brutality" and "a very public execution", while adding that Aurman Singh was left to die at the side of the road, BBC reported.

The driver was also attacked with a hockey stick and a wooden stave. He was stabbed in the back with such brute force that it cut through one of his ribs. He died on the spot.

"It is an unbearable loss for us which has changed our lives. My daughter and myself will be living our lives for the sake of it but our happiness and the will to live is not there," it added.
