A gang of three men and two women have been convicted of a 'honeytrap' k!lling.
The victim, Vishal Gohel, 44, had been expecting to have s3x with three women, but was gagged and beaten when their male accomplices arrived to rob him, according to Mail Online.
Prosecutor Charlotte Newell KC told St Albans crown court that in the morning of Sunday, January 23 last year, a neighbour saw Mr. Gohel's front door was ajar and the kitchen light was on.
When he returned to the second floor of the flats on Bushey High Street, Herts at 10pm he noticed the door was still open and decided to check.
She said he knocked on the door and went in to make a 'horrifying discovery.'
'Mr. Gohel was lifeless on the floor of the bedroom. Gaffer tape was round the lower part of his face. A post-mortem examination found he had suffered a significant blow or blows to the head.
'Both sides of his face were injured. There was internal bruising to his scalp, eyes and jaw.
'There was brain damage and his voice box had been fractured, consistent with squeezing of the neck.'
The prosecutor said the second-floor flat had been tidied in an effort to clean the scene. Mr Gohel's iPhone and iWatch had been taken.
She said he was the victim of a 'honeytrap' where three women had gained access on the promise of sexual liaisons that never happened.
They allegedly gained entry to allow the males in to steal property.
