Two thugs have been jailed after a Labour councillor and his wife were slashed with a knife at their Handsworth grocery store.

Chaman Lal and his wife Vidya Wati were working at Uplands Fruits when Leeroy Simpson stormed in holding a knife.

The thug and accomplice Zoe Gregory attacked and threatened Mr Lal, 65, and his 68-year-old wife – putting the butcher’s knife to her throat.

Leeroy Simpson, 45 of Handsworth, Birmingham, has been charged with four robberies, three of possession of a bladed article in public and one of theft by finding.

Zoe Gregory, 33, who lives at the same address as Simpson, has been charged with two robberies.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
