4 men charged with murder of Indian-origin delivery driver in England

UK police have nabbed four men of Indian origin, who have been charged with the killing of a food delivery driver who also had Indian roots.

While the circumstances of the 23-year-old’s murder are unknown, police said the investigation is underway. The incident is not being probed as a robbery.

All four men charged in the murder are in their early 20s. Another individual who reportedly aided an offender was released on bail.

“Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of Aurman at this difficult time,” said Detective Chief Inspector Mark Bellamy, senior investigating officer at West Mercia Police.

“Our investigation is underway with officers carrying out a number of enquiries to establish the circumstances that led to Aurman’s murder. We know Aurman was a delivery person, however at this stage we do not believe this was the motive for his death and we are not investigating this as a robbery,” he said.

“We believe those involved are known to each other and are not local to Shrewsbury or the wider West Mercia Police area. We have so far arrested five people in connection with the murder and are progressing all other lines of enquiry to locate and arrest outstanding suspects,” he added.
