A drug dealer has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the “brutal and sustained assault” of an Indian-origin man in Southampton, on England’s south coast, in September last year.

Adam Abdallah was found guilty of stabbing Kirpal Singh Sanghera in the chest, neck and arms and jailed for life at Winchester Crown Court on Tuesday.

Justice Dingemans told the 43-year-old man that he must serve at least 23 years for the “brutal and sustained assault” before being considered for parole.

The court was told that 39-year-old Sanghera and his attacker were involved in the supply of Class A hard drugs and that the killing was the result of a “turf war”.

Victim’s father Gurdev Singh Sanghera told the court: “My son was everything to me, my life has changed forever.” — PTI
