Brit-Indian student found guilty of 'luring ex-boyfriend to death' to avenge rape

London, Feb 25 (ANI): An Indian origin medical student in Britain has been found guilty of playing a role in a plot to kill her ex-boyfriend for revenge after he tried to rape her.

Twenty-year-old Mundill Mahil lured her boyfriend Gagandip Singh to her house, where he was beaten unconscious, then bundled into the boot of a car and burned alive.

Mahil decided to 'play God' when she recruited two men to carry out the fatal attack on Singh, who she claimed had tried to rape her six months earlier, The Daily Mail reports.

According to the report, Singh, a 21-year-old entrepreneur who founded a global television station dedicated to the Sikh community, was kicked, punched and struck with a camera tripod, then put into the boot of his car.

The vehicle was then driven to a quiet London side street and set alight. The post-mortem examination revealed Singh was still alive when the fire began.

Mahil was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm for her role in the attack, and was warned by the judge it is 'virtually inevitable' that she will be given a long jail sentence.

Her two conspirators were also convicted of murder and manslaughter respectively.

In a trial at the Old Bailey lasting more than two months, jurors were told it was a revenge killing in retaliation for an attempted rape of Mahil the year before.

That attack was never reported to police so what really happened between them will never be known. (ANI)
