The man who shot dead Anuj Bidve in a “motiveless” murder in Greater Manchester, London has been jailed for life. Kiaran Stapleton (21), was found guilty of murder at Manchester Crown Court following a five-week trial. He shot the 23-year-old Lancaster University student on Boxing Day 2011 as he walked to the shops for the sale with friends. Stapleton was told he would serve a minimum term of 30 years.

RIP: Anuj had gone to Britain to study micro-electronics and was visiting Manchester with a group of friends last Christmas when he was shot dead. File pic
