A woman who helped drug and rob a young dad killed in his own flat has been convicted for her part in his death.

Temidayo Awe, from Saunders Street in Gillingham, worked as part of a group which targeted Saul Murray, 33, after he posted photos of himself wearing Rolex watches on social media.

A trial heard Awe, 21, and another woman, Surpreet Dhillon, 35, from London, visited the young dad at his flat in Luton, Bedfordshire, in the early hours of February 27 last year.

They were later joined by two male accomplices, Ikem Affia and Cleon Brown, 29, also from London.

Mr Murray was drugged with the sedative GHB, stabbed and died as a result of blood loss from a knife wound.

Following a 10-week trial at Luton Crown Court, Affia, 31, was found guilty of murder and possessing a bladed article.

Awe and Dhillon were found not guilty of murder but were convicted of manslaughter and conspiracy to commit robbery along with Brown.

During the trial jurors heard how the visit to Mr Murray’s flat was planned as part of a plot to steal high value items from him.

Dhillon contacted Mr Murray via Instagram after he posted pictures of himself wearing two Rolexes and later agreed to meet up.

Recovered CCTV showed two women enter the victim's flat in Luton before 11.40pm.

One of the women left shortly before 2.30am while the other propped the communal door open with a broom.

The first woman returned to the flat around 25 minutes later with two men.

The women left together around 20 minutes later, with the men following suit. It is clear on the footage that one of the men was carrying a large knife.

'All four had planned to rob Mr Murray of any expensive belongings he may have had, and had agreed to use force and threats, as well as the use of a sedative substance'

Mr Murray was then seen running towards the door before he lost consciousness and collapsed.

Detectives successfully identified Dhillon and Awe from the CCTV.

All four were later arrested and charged with murder which the two women denied at the same court in June.

They were all convicted yesterday for their involvement in the incident and will be sentenced on March 3.

Detective inspector Dale Mepstead, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “This alarming act of violence resulted in Mr Murray losing his life in the most horrific way.

“All four had planned to rob Mr Murray of any expensive belongings he may have had, and had agreed to use force and threats, as well as the use of a sedative substance – in this case GHB that the women used on Mr Murray – to get what they wanted.

“Not only was the attack on him brutal, but all four left him alone to die from his injuries.

“This was a very complex investigation that involved a lot of CCTV and phone work to identify the rightful suspects and I am pleased that all four have been found guilty of the part they each played in Mr Murray’s death.”
