Detectives investigating the murder of Aurman Singh have charged four men with murder.

Aurman Singh, who was 23 and lived in Smethwick, died after he was attacked in Berwick Avenue in Coton Hill in Shrewsbury on Monday.

Aurman was a DPD driver and was working at the time, but police said they did not think this was the motive for his death.

Arshdeep Singh, 24, of Shaw Road in Tipton, Jagdeep Singh, 22, of Goodrich Mews in Dudley, Shivdeep Singh, 26, of Greenfield Road in Smethwick and Manjot Singh, 24, of Greenfield Road have all been charged with murder.

They are due to appear at Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Saturday).

A fifth man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on police bail.

Earlier this week, Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Mark Bellamy reassured local residents those suspected of being involved are not local to Shrewsbury or the wider West Mercia Police area.

Aurman’s family made the following tribute: "There are no words that could ever explain the impact this tragedy has had on me and my family.

"Today a mother will grow old without her son. A sister will grow up without her brother. We don’t want what has happened to us to happen to another family.

"We would like to thank the police for conducting their investigation diligently and supporting us through this tough time."
