'WPC helped killers to flee abroad' Dec 2 2005
By Daniel Lyons
A POLICEWOMAN helped two men flee the country after they allegedly tortured a teenager before shooting him in the head, a jury heard this week.
Prosecuting lawyers claim PC Rupinder Gill, 27, was in a relationship with Mohammed Akbar when 18-year-old Daniel Higgins was killed.
Her boyfriend was one member of an armed gang which broke into a flat and took it in turn to torture Mr Higgins with knives and a hammer, Reading Crown Court was told.
Mr Higgins was then shot as girl-friend Natalie Muncey cowered with her ten-month-old baby in the next room of the flat in Thirlmere Avenue, Burnham.
Akbar, 28, of Eastbridge Road, Slough, and friend Zahir Hussain allegedly used a Eurostar train to get from London to Paris after the attack in November 2003.
Gill is accused of travelling with them a
nd returning to England a few days later.
Her mobile phone records allegedly show that she had been talking to Akbar within minutes of the savage killing.
And police searching her computer found she had looked up flights and Eurostar times on the internet, the jury heard.
Charles Miskin QC, prosecuting, said the gang murdered Mr Higgins to avenge the killing of Mohammed Choudry in February 2003.
He added: "Mohammed Akbar was amongst these masked men. He does not deny that.
"At the time of the offence, Rupinder Gill was his girlfriend and two days after the murder he and another man called Zahir Hussain fled the jurisdiction.
"They fled by Eurostar to Paris, from where they moved to Malaga. Mohammed Akbar's girlfriend assisted him in his flight."
The pair were arrested and extradited from Spain earlier this year.
Detectives investigating Gill, who trained at Hendon Police College, found St Valent
ine&
#39;s Day cards sent after Akbar had fled the UK. The trainee officer was arrested in May 2004.
Hussain h
as since admitted assisting an offender and Akbar, although admitting to being in the flat, denies murder.
Home Office pathologist Dr Ashley Fegan Earl told the jury that Mr Higgins' killers used a machete to cut into his head. They also stabbed him all over his body and hit him with a blunt weapon.
Gang member Majad Khan, 29, of Wexham Road, Slough, was jailed for 20 years at Reading Crown Court in November last year for his part in the teenager's murder.
Gill, from Hounslow, denies assisting an offender.
The trial continues.

Shamed woman cop faces long term in prison Dec 23 2005
By Mark Coleman
A WOMAN police officer who helped her killer boyfriend escape the country is facing years behind bars, a crown court jury heard.
Thames Valley Police officer, Rupinder Gill, fled to Paris with lover Mohammed Akbar two days after he tortured 18-year-old Daniel Higgins and shot him in the head at point blank range.
A Reading Crown Court jury heard last Thursday that Akbar was one member of a masked gang who broke into Mr Higgins' girlfriend's Burnham flat and murdered him on November 9, 2003.
The murder was said to be a revenge killing, after a man called Mohammed Choudry was stabbed to death in Slough on February 13 that year.
The policewoman broke down in tears as the jury convicted her of assisting an offender, just minutes after they had convicted her former lover of murder.
Det Supt Mark Warwick, who oversaw the investigation,
said: "The verdicts should send out a clear message to anyone who thinks they can be involved in such a horrendous crime and then flee the country.
"Daniel's killing was particularly brutal and extremely violent. His death was a reprisal attack for the murder of Mohammed Mahmood in February that same year.
"Two families have lost loved ones and it is those families who continue to suffer.
"Although a total of seven people have now been convicted in connection with Daniel's murder, this case has still not concluded and we will continue to investigate both murders.
"Three men are still wanted for the murder of Daniel and they will continue to be sought."
Mr Higgins was tortured with knives, battered with a hammer, and a machete was used to cut into the back of the teenager's skull before one of the men shot him in the forehead.
His girlfriend
Nata
lie Muncey, listened to his screams as she cradled her 10-month-old son in the next room.
Detectives started an investiga
tion into Gill's involvement after phone records revealed she had spoken to Akbar at crucial times on the night of the murder. An examination of the trainee Metropolitan Police officer's computer revealed she had searched for Eurostar times and prices and looked up flights to Malaga from both Paris and Heathrow.
The 27-year-old trainee officer met Akbar, of Eastbridge Road, after the murder with a bag of his clothes at London's Waterloo station where the couple took a Eurostar train to France.
Gill returned home the same day while Akbar flew to Malaga where he stayed with friend Zahir Hussain, until being extradited earlier this year.
Gill kept in touch with 28-year-old Akbar as he started a new life abroad and police found Valentine's Day cards from him at her house, as well as further evidence of calls between them.
<b
r>
Sh
e visited him in Spain twice after the killing, although she maintained she knew nothing of his involvement in the murder.
The former lovers were both re
manded in custody and ordered to return to the court on January 27 next year, when they will be sentenced.
On hearing the guilty verdict at Reading Crown Court last Thursday, Judge Jonathan Playford QC, delivered a stark warning to the disgraced officer, when he said he 'must make it very clear' that the WPC 'is facing a substantial custodial sentence'.
In November last year, 29-year-old Majad Khan, of Wexham Road, was jailed for life after being tried and convicted of Mr Higgins' murder.
Zahir Hussain, 26, of Griffin Close, has admitted assisting an offender and is due to be sentenced with Gill and Akbar in January.

Mohammed Omar Akbar was jailed
for life for Mr Higgins' murder
Gangland murder hunt to continue
Police have vowed to continue the hunt for three men in connection with a gangland murder for which seven people have already been convicted.
Daniel Higgins was tortured and shot at a house in Burnham, Slough, Berkshire, in November 2003.
The "execution" was allegedly a revenge attack for the murder of Mohammed Mahmood in February 2003.
Detectives are still trying to trace Jamil Khalid, 26, Kashif Mahmood, 24, and 26-year-old Arfan Yaqoob.
Mr Khalid has a tattoo of a skull on his right arm and one of the Pakistani flag, along with a crescent moon and two stars, on his right hand.
'Extr
emely violent'
Det Supt Mark Warwick said: "Daniel's killing was particularly brutal and e
xtremely
violent.
"His death was a reprisal attack for the murder of Mohammed Mahmood in February that same year.
"Two families have lost loved ones and it is those families who continue to suffer.
"Although a total of seven people have now been convicted in connection with Daniel's murder, this case has still not concluded and we will continue to investigate both murders."
On Friday, Mohammed Omar Akbar, 29, of Slough, was jailed for life for his part in Mr Higgins' murder.
His lover, former trainee policewoman Rupinder Gill, 27, of Hounslow, west London, was also jailed for five years after being found guilty of helping him flee the country after the killing.
Another man, 27-year-old Zahir Hussain, also of Slough, who flew to Malaga with Akbar, pleaded guilty to assisting an offender and was sentenced to four years in j
ail.
An earlier charge of murder against him was dropped by the prosecution because of insufficient evidence.
