Kissing killers of businessman Richard Sherratt caught on cctv
Dramatic CCTV footage has been released showing callous killers Emma Bate and Paramjit Singh hugging and kissing – just over an hour after their brutal attack on Stourbridge businessman Richard Sherratt.
The sickening shots show the couple together in a lift at Bate's block of flats in Birmingham, having attacked and robbed Mr Sherratt of his wallet, watch and jeans before leaving him for dead with 38 injuries.
Footage from police also shows prostitute Bate, 26, waving her hands in the air in an apparent victory salute after using one of the former Stourbridge man's bank cards at a cashpoint next to Handsworth Post Office 20 minutes before they returned home.
The footage was released following the end of the trial at Stafford Crown Court, which saw Bate convicted of murder yesterday. Judge Tonking told Bate, of Gladstone Street, that, when she and 33-year-old Singh appeared before him again on March 1, he was "bound" to be sentencing them to life imprisonment.
