An Indian-origin man in north London has been jailed for life for the murder of his father. The accused, Deacon Paul Singh Vij (54), was found guilty after a trial at the Old Bailey court last month and was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Friday by the same court. A police officer involved in the investigation said, “This act of Deacon Paul Singh Vij has devastated his family. He will always have to face the loss of his loved one while Vij will have to serve his sentence in jail.
The police officer said, “Arjan Singh Vij (86) lived with his son in Southgate, North London, where the police were called after the incident in 2021. The police declared him (Arjan Singh Vij) dead on the spot.” According to the police, “The cause of death in the post-mortem was stated to be a sharp blow to the head with something.” According to the ‘Evening Standard’ newspaper , his son was naked and surrounded by about 100 bottles of Champagne, including blood-stained bottles of Veuve Clicquot and Bollinger.
During the police investigation, the accused denied the murder, but on the second day of the investigation, he accepted the charge and said, “I killed my father by hitting him on the head with a bottle of Bollinger Champagne.” The accused said that he did not intend to cause serious harm to his father. The jury took less than a day to deliberate on a verdict in the case and convicted the accused of murder.
