It was a crime that shocked and puzzled even hardened detectives: a DPD driver hacked to death in a cartel-style execution as he delivered parcels in the middle of the afternoon in a quiet suburban street. Aurman Singh, 23, was ambushed in broad daylight by eight men armed with an axe, a hockey stick, a knife, a golf club and a shovel. He was attacked with such ferocity that his left ear was severed and his skull had cracked open and part of his brain left exposed.
