Blackberry killers jailed

THREE robbers were jailed for nine years each for killing a man for his BlackBerry phone which they sold for €69 and a chicken dinner.

Armenian Roshan Samedov, 18, and Iranians Jegir Ahmmadi, 20, and Awat Muradi, 18, all from Thornton Heath, south London, were found guilty of manslaughter and robbery last month.

Saravanakumar Sellappan, 24, was targeted in London Road, Thornton Heath, when the robbers saw him talking on his BlackBerry.

They followed him into residential Langdale Road, where they struck, knocking him to the ground, in October last year.

He became unconscious the following morning and died from a brain injury despite being sent home from hospital.
