Two men held for Leicester murder

TWO men from Leicester were arrested and charged with the murder of Anand Parmar (left), who was found with serious injuries in a car in Evington last Wednesday (14).

Parmar was taken to hospital for treatment, but died soon from severe injuries on his head and chest.

Jurrat Khan, 25, of Wakerley Road and Renaldo Baptiste, 34, of Marsh Close, have been remanded in custody. They appeared at Leicester Magistrates’ Court last Friday (16).

Parmar, 47, was found with serious injuries in a car stopped by police officers in Leicester, after it was seen being driven in an “erratic manner.” A post-mortem examination found that Parmar, who was also known as Andy, died as a result of “significant

injuries” to his head and chest, Leicestershire Police said.

Parmar is now the subject of a murder inquiry and as a feared victim of kidnapping and theft.

Earlier, other arrests were also made in connection with the incident. A man, 22, arrested on suspicion of murder and a 34-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, both are in custody.
