On Wednesday, Retired Poran Singh, 71, Ajmeer Singh, 31, Manjit Singh, 27, and Amandeep Singh, 21, are charged with murdering Simarjeet Singh Nangpal in Southall .

The Metropolitan Police said:

  • Simarjeet Singh Nangpal, 17, died at the scene after being found with stab injuries when police responded to reports of a fight in Burket Close at 12.15am.
  • All four were arrested at the scene and two were taken to hospital with injuries they sustained before the police arrived
  • All  accused persons appeared in the dock of Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday where they faced a single count of murder each.
  • All  defendants, who live on the street where the murder is said to have taken place, did not enter any plea.

Poran Singh, 71,  required a Punjabi interpreter and the case was split into three separate hearings as the defendants were bought up from prison at different times.

District Judge John Law remanded them into custody until they appear at the Old Bailey. Prosecutor Jordan Pratt did not outline any details of the case.

Detective Superintendent Figo Forouzan said:

  • Our thoughts remain with Simarjeet’s family at this extremely difficult time. No family should have to go through what they are experiencing.
