Two men were arrested today (20 May) in connection with the murder of a man in Shrewsbury in August 2023.
Aurman Singh, 23, was working as a DPD delivery driver in Coton Hill when he was attacked by a group of eight men who were armed with weapons like an axe, golf club, and a piece of wood.
The attack happened in broad daylight in the middle of the day on 21 August 2023 as the delivery driver was posting parcels in Berwick Avenue.
His injuries were so severe, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspects fled in a white Mercedes Benz and grey Audi before discarding some of the weapons in nearby Hubert Way.
There is no known motive for the attack. Detectives established it was not a robbery.
Five men are already serving time for their part in his death. Four of them were found guilty of his murder last month and were each handed a 28-year sentence.
A fifth man was found guilty of manslaughter and handed a 10-year sentence.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Bellamy, said: "This investigation has already resulted in five men found guilty for their part in Aurman’s death after they lay in wait for him during his delivery route, before they carried out their planned and calculated attack, resulting in his death.
"These arrests show our commitment to getting justice for Aurman's family, and how we have continued to work tirelessly to apprehend those involved in his death, and I’m grateful for the assistance of the Austrian authorities.”
