A court has been told of the injuries suffered by a DPD driver who was killed in a broad daylight attack in Shrewsbury last year.
Aurman Singh, of Topsham Road, Smethwick, died after he was attacked in Berwick Avenue, Coton Hill, on Monday, August 21.
Dr Lockyer, who conducted the post-mortem on Aurman Singh, told the court on Wednesday that the deceased had suffered numerous bruises, abrasions and lacerations to the face, temple and chin.Among them, Dr Lockyer explained, was a"J-shaped, chop-type" injury on the right side of the victim's scalp that had fractured his skull.
He told the court that Mr Singh's right ear had also been partially amputated, which Dr Lockyer concluded was consistent with a"golf club head being wielded with a severe degree of force". There was also a deep stab wound to the back that had pierced Mr Singh's chest and cut his rib in half. He said there was evidence that the wound was caused by a knife that was used with such force that the hilt may have caused an abrasion found on the deceased's skin.
But Dr Lockyer added:"The concentrations detected were low so it is unlikely he was experiencing significant effects of these drugs at the time of his death."
