An Oldbury mother has been jailed for 11 years after she plotted to have her partner killed when he went cold on her wedding plans.

43 year-old Balbir Kaur told her son Manvir Singh she wanted Samson Masih dead, and he assembled a ‘mob’ to carry out an attack on the 37-year-old, who survived his injuries.

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard how Kaur knew when the victim was coming to her home in Thompson Road, Oldbury,and told her son who arranged an ambush.

When Mr Masih arrived, he was set upon by Singh and four other men, who have not been tracked by police. 22 year-old .Singh of Green Lane, Walsall, denied attempted murder, but he was found guilty by the jury and jailed for 17 years.
