Two men jailed over 'well-planned execution' of drugs supplier

Gurinderjit Rai was known as "G" in the criminal world, Winchester Crown Court was told

Aston Hannis and Charlie Statham, both 30, were sentenced to life with minimum terms of 35 and 28 years respectively after being convicted of murder."This was a quick, brutal and well-planned execution," Mrs Justice Cutts said. Mr Rai, known as G, had been his supplier but "tensions" had risen after a safe house where Hannis kept his drugs was burgled.The prosecution said when Mr Rai arrived at a rendezvous point in Corhampton on the night of 12 July, he was expecting Hannis to repay him some of the money he owed.

Mrs Justice Curtis said Hannis had turned to his "extremely loyal friends" Statham and White to carry out the killing, who she said were not part of his organised crime group.

Would have been great if they could have all killed each other. Nice and cheap waste disposal.

Wasn't that well planned obviously 🙄
