Indian-origin man jailed for life for mother’s murder at UK home

Sindeep Singh was awarded the sentence after a 16-day trial at Leicester Crown Court. The sentence includes a minimum term of 31 years behind bars before parole.

He was arrested after the Leicestershire Police discovered the deceased, Bhajan Kaur, on May 13.

Kaur, 76, was found in her family home in Leicester with significant injuries to her head and face. Police officers, who arrived at the scene, also found that ground in the rear garden had been dug up, creating a large hole.

“This was a deeply disturbing case which uncovered the lengths Singh went to, to cover his tracks,” said Detective Chief Inspector Mark Sinski from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit Murder Investigation Team.
