‘Close friend’ arrested over murder of businessman

By Joseph Allen

The suspected mastermind in the murder of businessman Amit Singh yesterday led police to $7.7m in cash which was stashed in his Diamond home and three other suspects have been held.

A police statement yesterday said that Singh was lured by the four suspects to a house at Middle Road, La Penitence. They claimed that they were in possession of gold for sale.

Whilst at the house, the four persons brutally murdered Singh and wrapped his body in a sheet. The suspects then took the cash that the victim had taken to purchase the gold and locked the building with the body inside.
