<\/p>\nTHIS is the chilling moment a Brit wife's lover confessed he slit her husband's throat in his sleep after she poisoned his Biryani curry.<\/p>\n
In a taped confession, Gurpreet Singh revealed how he and Ramandeep Kaur Mann murdered dad-of-two Sukhjit Singh in a savage plot.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Gurpreet told cops he received a call from Ramandeep between 5 and 6pm and was asked to come to her house later that evening – at around 10-10:30pm.<\/p>\n
He said he took a cab to the address, taking a knife with him.<\/p>\n
"She said 'we're going to have to kill him'," Gurpreet told cops.<\/p>\n
"He was struggling. She was smothering him with a pillow. I hit him with a hammer over his head.<\/p>\n
"She said he still wasn't dead so she gave me the knife I brought with me and I cut his throat."<\/p>\n He added: "It took her about 15-20 minutes to open the door.<\/p>\n "The whole thing took another 20-30 minutes once I was inside.<\/p>\n "As soon as I did it, I got scared and thought 'what have I done?'"<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Laced with sedatives, Sukhjit had no idea his favourite Biryani curry would be his last.<\/p>\n He went to bed that night only for his British wife of 11 years, to smother him with a pillow.<\/p>\n Her lover – Sukhjit's childhood best friend – then burst into the room, smashing the 34-year-old's head in with a hammer.<\/p>\n Gurpreet finished him off by slitting his throat, leaving Sukhjit to bleed to death inside his own mother's home.<\/p>\n The savage murder in northern India was the culmination of a twisted\u00a0plot to seize \u00a32 million in life insurance\u00a0and \u00a3100,000 in assets.<\/p>\n Ramandeep, now 38, and Gurpreet planned to start a new life with the cash.<\/p>\n The pair got closer due to her struggles with Sukhjit's alleged drug addiction, Gurpreet told cops in the video.<\/p>\n He explained how the wife allegedly had multiple arguments with her late husband, and how she wanted to die because of it.<\/p>\n "It was because of this that they started arguing," Gurpreet said in the confession tape.<\/p>\n "She was sick and tired of it all. She confided in me and from that we became close."<\/p>\n Ramandeep and Gurpreet's barbaric holiday murder in Basantapur,\u00a0Uttar Pradesh, near the border of\u00a0Nepal, was foiled.<\/p>\n It was witnessed by the couple's eldest son Arjun, then just nine.<\/p>\n His twisted mum hoped sedatives in the curry would knock the lad out before she killed Sukhjit, but Arjun wasn't hungry that night.<\/p>\n He didn't eat enough for the drugs to kick in and just after 10pm he awoke to the sound of his dad struggling as his mum smothered him.<\/p>\n Arjun later told police: "My dad was great but my mum was bad and I don't want to see her face ever because\u00a0she killed my dad\u00a0in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n "She kept a pillow on my dad's face and asked Gurpreet to slit his throat."<\/p>\n It was only in October 2023 that Ramandeep and Gurpreet were finally convicted of Sukhjit's murder.<\/p>\n Ramandeep has now been sentenced to death by hanging, her lawyers have appealed and could change the sentence to life in prison.<\/p>\n Gurpreet was jailed for life and fined \u00a33,000 but spared the\u00a0death sentence.<\/p>\n Ramandeep's family claim she was set up by Sukhjit's family in an elaborate conspiracy, claiming they wanted him dead for plans to sell family land.<\/p>\n The Manns even paid to get their eldest daughter out of prison, serving remand at family friends in rural India.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/r-image-taken-https-twitter-852928953.jpg\")
