Burglar guilty of murder over £100

A burglar has been found guilty of killing a hard-working shopkeeper for the sake of £100 in the till during a “oneman crimewave”.

Alex Gunn, 31, was caught on CCTV stabbing 54-year-old Ravi Katharkamar at Marsh Food and Wine in Pinner, London, early on 24 March.

After Gunn was convicted of murder at the Old Bailey, Mr Katharkamar’s widow described the loss of the “kind, humorous and loving” family man.

Vignarani Aiyathirai said: “A stranger fatally and brutally stabbed Ravi for the £100 or so float from the till. The thought of this haunts me.”
