THE jury has gone out in the Prabjot Rayat murder trial at Wood Green Crown Court.

Jurors retired to consider their verdicts at 10.55am yesterday morning.

Surinda Chana, 44, and Robert Burrows, 33, both of Lower Park Road, Belvedere, and Clifford Collins, 40, of Mounts Road, Greenhithe, are accused of Mr Rayat’s murder.

All three defendants deny charges of murder and manslaughter.

Burrows and Collins have pleaded guilty to robbery, while Chana has pleaded not guilty to the same charge. During the seven-week trial, jurors have heard how the trio killed Mr Rayat because they needed money to buy drugs.

Prosecutor Brendan Finucane said: "Nobody called 999, instead they called their dealer straight afterwards.

"That was what it was all about - crack. They couldn't wait to get crack.

"They planned the robbery together with the intention of causing really serious harm and that is what has happened."

Mr Finucane told the jury all three defendants are guilty of murder, since they had the shared intention of killing or causing really serious harm to the victim.

Mr Rayat, a father-of-three from Pickford Lane, Bexleyheath, was found dead in the office of his car repair service, Rayat Autos, at the Crown Industrial Estate on June 8 last year.
