Two businessmen men shot dead in car park of their hotel

Two Asian businessmen, a nephew and his uncle have been shot dead in a dispute over a car-parking space at their hotel.

Raginder Singh, 35, and Amarjit Singh, 52, were both shot in dead in broad daylight in the car park of the family-run Forest View Hotel in east London.

Witnesses said that when the pair asked some Asian men to remove their cars from the private car park at the hotel, a number of men vandalised a van belonging to the Singh family.

The Singhs were then shot dead when they attempted to prevent the men damaging the van.

Police have confirmed that they are seeking three Asian men in connection with the incident.
