WE’RE WINNERS! Neighbours pick up £1 million prize pot after scooping Postcode Lottery DOMINIC ROBERTSON
Chief Reporter
Welcome to Millionaire Street in Shropshire, where the neighbours have hit the jackpot.
Seven households in the street in Telford have shared a small fortune after they won the Postcode Lottery. Six of them picked up cheques for £125,000 – and one struck lucky with £250,000. Stunned Elise Buswell grabbed the biggest win because she had managed to buy two tickets by mistake. Elise, 28, cancelled one of the tickets weeks ago after signing up for two in error, but doubled her winnings anyway because it was still valid for this week’s draw. When told of the win she said: “Oh my God! I’m lost for words. I would have been happy with a couple of grand, to be honest. I’m shaking. It’s unimaginable. l Mistake – Pages 4&5

Five men are jailed for a total of 122 years over DPD driver killing in town
Five men convicted of killing a 23-year-old DPD driver in Shropshire have been given a combined prison sentence of 122 years. Aurman Singh was hacked to death in broad daylight on August 21 last year. He was attacked by two gangs of masked men brandishing an array of weapons including an axe, golf club, cricket bat and wooden stave. They had travelled from the Black
Country to Shrewsbury in order to carry out the attack. Four men wanted in connection with the killing remain at large and are being hunted by police. Last month, Arshdeep Singh, 24, of Shaw Road in Tipton; Shivdeep Singh, 27, of Greenfield Road in Smethwick; Manjot Singh, 25, also of Greenfield Road; Jagdeep Singh, 23, of Goodrich Mews in Dudley were all found guilty of his murder.
A fifth man, Sukhmandeep Singh, 24, of Peterborough, was found guilty of manslaughter after he provided information on Aurman Singh’s whereabouts to the gang while working at the same delivery depot in Stoke as the murdered man. Yesterday the five men appeared before judge Kristina Montgomery KC at Stafford Crown Court to face sentencing for their part in the killing.
Judge Kristina Montgomery told the court the murder of Aurman Singh had been an “act of horrifying brutality”. She said the four Black Country men gathered with four other men and “finalised” the plan and that the weapons have been “carefully curated” to cause the maximum damage when “wielded with fervent aggression”. l Special reports – Page 6
