In August 2023, 23-year-old DPD delivery driver Aurman Singh was murdered while working his delivery route in Shrewsbury, England. He was deliberately lured to a location and then ambushed by a group of men armed with weapons including an axe, shovel and hockey stick. The attack was planned using inside information about his delivery schedule, and Aurman died at the scene from multiple severe injuries. Police later uncovered the conspiracy, arresting suspects both in the UK and overseas. Several men were eventually convicted at Stafford Crown Court: the main attackers received life sentences with long minimum terms, and another man was jailed for manslaughter for providing information that helped set up the ambush. The case shocked the public because of its level of planning, brutality, and the fact that it targeted someone simply doing his job.
