Common card · No. 259448

In 2003 in London, England, five members of an Indian family were kidnapped and murdered by a criminal gang. The millionaire businessman Amarjit Chohan disappeared along with his wife, two baby sons and his mother-in-law. The bodies were initially buried in Devon before they were later dumped in the sea off Poole, Dorset where three of them were eventually discovered in the English Channel. The two children were never found. Kenneth Regan and William Horncy were given whole life orders for the five murders. Peter Rees was convicted of one. The motive was financial as they planned to take over his freight company to use as a front for importing drugs. The case was highly publicised due to the brutality of the crime. The trial was the longest in the history of the Metropolitan Police.
