TV show Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh on Crime&Investigation to focus on revenge murder after sex attack on Chatham woman

A new TV crime documentary airing tonight will focus on the story of a man who was beaten and burned to death in a revenge attack for an attempted rape.

Gagandip Singh, 21, was murdered in 2011 after a sex attack on former Rochester Grammar School pupil Mundill Mahil, from Chatham, who was then aged 20 and studying at Brighton.

Murder at My Door with Kym Marsh will air at 9pm on the Crime&Investigation channel - and will look at Gagandip's murder as one of four unique cases.

A successful television exec from a well-to-do Sikh family, 21-year-old Gagandip had previously been invited to Mahil’s flat in Brighton, where she rejected his sexual advances.

However Mahil then lured Gagandip back to her place in Brighton six months after the attempted sex attack.

Waiting for him were Harvinder Shoker and his friend Darren Peters who beat Gagandip unconscious, before throwing him in the boot of his own car.

They then drove him to Blackheath and set the car alight, burning him alive.

In February 2012, Shoker was sentenced to life with a minimum of 22 years, Peters was given 12 years for manslaughter and after 40 hours deliberation Mahil was given six years for grievous bodily harm. She was released on license in 2014, and subsequently married Labour 'rising star' and councillor Varinder Singh.
