Son jailed for UK couple’s murder

London, August 24

An Indian-origin man found guilty of the double murder of his mother and stepfather has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum 36 years behind bars before being considered for parole by a UK court.

Anmol Chana, described as “fanatical” about knives, stabbed his mother Jasbir Kaur (52) and her husband Rupinder Singh Bassan (51) multiple times at their home in Oldbury in the West Midlands region of England earlier this year. The 26-year-old was convicted of the two murders after a nine-day trial at Birmingham Crown Court and sentenced on Friday.

The British Sikh couple were found dead at their home in February, after West Midlands Police officers forced their way into their home following concerns being raised for their welfare. — PTI
