From what I have read online it says it was a row over 'unpaid wages' and alcohol was involved. UK members might know more about this incident. Condolences to the victims kin and families.

Veer ji this is really sad hearing about this as it made more worse due to them being illegal immigrants and how they were exploited by building contractors who made them work for free and refused to pay their wages which was way below the uk national minimum wage rate which is really disguisting.

 

I have been to this area a few times but not a regular bases as its a bit far for me. I did see on the local gurdwara sahib how they went to the murder site and did ardas there in the evening day before yesterday on their facebook page.

Veer ji you are right it does suck especially as these people sold everything in India and end up like this is even more sad. 

 

I do remember a few years back of how these people were sleeping in bins and telephone booths during the winter which was really really sad to see as how they had to suffer in the freezing cold. And on the other side how much money was blown on nagar kirtains,building funds makes me feel angry about how nobody at the gurdwara  helps these people.

Because Veerji,thats all our people currently are worried about. Externalities. Inside maybe all empty but they have to show off outside.I once read a Buddhist monk saying that his goal is to "Build People and not to worry about building temples.Once you build people they will themselves go forth and build the necessary temples." This is where we lack. We focus on building empty Gurudwaras and totally ignore the people and their soul.

It's funny how when you're alive no one wants to look at your face but once you're dead everyone comes running to pray for you.Too little too late.These guys needed help and religious guidance a long time ago.

I know the effects of alcohol personally and can vouch for the destruction and anger it fuels. I am willing to bet that the perpetrators of this massacre are in deep regret right now crying their eyes out once they sober down.

Why is it so hard for sangat to pressure their Gurudwara managements to allocate funds for battling alcohol and drugs? Addiction therapy courses are so prevalent these days,especially in the west where people can train themselves to be a counsellor.

• Jury cleared Mr Singh of being in possession of offensive weapon in public place

A man who stabbed three men to death as they attacked him has become the first person in the UK to face no charges over a self-defence triple killing.

Gurjeet Singh, 30, was cornered by a group armed with knives and a hammer as he walked home from his local Gurdwara - a Sikh temple - in Ilford, London.

Mr Singh himself produced a knife during the vicious clash which lasted around 13 seconds and left Baljit Singh, 34, Narinder Singh, 26, and Harinder Kumar, 22, dead.

Metropolitan Police have since confirmed that Mr Singh has not been charged with either murder or manslaughter.

A fourth attacker, who survived, was sentenced for conspiracy and a fifth man, believed to have been the designated driver, was also jailed.

CCTV footage of the attack showed Mr Singh as he 'went all Bruce Lee' as he defended himself, a source told The Times.  

At a court hearing at Redbridge Magistrates shortly after the attack, it's understood the group of attackers, made up largely of unskilled labourers, had got in a dispute with Mr Singh over a 'outstanding debt'. 

A family source revealed the falling out was over a business deal.

During the attack in Seven Kings, Ilford on January 19, Mr Singh suffered multiple wounds as he tried defending himself. 

The court heard this included a 'crush injury' to the top of his head consistent with a hammer attack, a cut to the back of his head and the forehead and a five cm cut to the left side of the head. One of his hands were also wounded during the attack.

The trio of dead men, all fellow Sikhs, and the two survivors had seen Mr Singh at the the Gurdwara in Ilford (a Sikh place of worship) just minutes before the attack.

It followed a get together the previous night at a community event to celebrate the birth of a baby at a nearby venue called Krystel Banqueting where there was a disagreement.

On the night in question, the attackers had lain in wait for Mr Singh to leave the Gurdwara. A confrontation ensued where Mr Singh was chased and effectively boxed in. 

A vicious fight broke out involving weapons which resulted in the deaths of Harinder Kumar, Narinder Singh and Baljit Singh. 

The trio were found in pools of blood in scenes likened to a warzone. 

Louis O'Donoghue, 40, a scaffolder who arrived at the scene shortly after, said at the time: 'It was just chaos. It was like something out of a movie. Horrific. It was like a bad day in Bosnia.'

The two survivors of the bungled attack were sentenced in August.

Unskilled labourer Sandeep Singh from Romford, who is not a relation to any of the victims, had overstayed his visa and was living illegally in the UK.

The 29-year-old was jailed for four years in August for wounding with intent and will be deported back to India after serving his sentence. 

His brother Harpreet, who was the appointed getaway driver on the night, had also overstayed his visa. The 27-year-old will also be deported after he completes his 12-month jail sentence for the same offence.

The Met police charged Gurjeet Singh with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and he was remanded in custody for trial in February.  

No charges in relation to the deaths of three victims were ever brought.

Mr Singh was  found not guilty in August by a jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

He's been contacted for a comment but could not be reached. 

A spokeswoman for the Met confirmed that Mr Singh had initially been arrested for murder, but was charged only with possession of the knife, for which he was subsequently cleared.  

Mr Singh, who lived in Dagenham at the time of the attack, is an Indian national and an overstayer, who was served with a notice to leave in May 2015.

It's unclear when he first entered the UK but was issued with a student visa with an expiry date of November 2013.

In 2015 he made a failed application to remain in the UK under the Human Rights Act.

Wonder if those who he killed wronged him severely in a past life?

Let's not get unnecessarily metaphysical. Probably a row over money. Desis are not unknown to rip each other off in the black construction market.
