His pictures of Rolexes on Instagram drew the attention of Surpreet Dhillon and Temidayo Awe who then carried out a chilling attack.
Who was Saul Murray?
Saul Murray was a 33-year-old man who lived in Luton.
His social media platforms showed he was somebody who liked being seen with name fashion brands.
But it was these posts that caught the attention of two girls who were to set a honeytrap for the father-of-six.
Who are Surpreet Dhillon and Temidayo Awe?
Surpreet Dhillon and Temidayo Awe targeted Murray after seeing photos of his Rolex watches posted to Instagram.
Dhillon and Murray exchanged messages on the platform before sharing telephone numbers.
The girls then arranged to visit his home in Luton.
The 36-year-old had hatched the plan with friends after seeing posts by Murray showing off his apparent wealth and high-end watches.
Awe, a 21-year-old from Gillingham, travelled with Dhillon to meet Murray at his home.
What happened to Saul Murray?
Murray invited the two women to his home in Luton late on February 26, 2022.
CCTV cameras captured the women entering the property.
They shared a brandy and engaged in sexual activities before Dhillon put date rape drug GHB in Murray’s drink.
It is alleged that the levels of the drug used were not enough to knock out Murray so Awe left the property to go and get their other two accomplices.
Two men were seen entering the property close to 20 minutes later before footage caught the two women leaving together.
They were closely followed by the two men about 19 seconds later.
One of the individuals could clearly be seen brandishing a knife.
Murray was found in his flat the following day having died as a result of heavy bleeding from a stab wound which had pierced an artery.
The two unidentified men were tracked down by police using GPS information from a car they were seen fleeing in.
The murderer of Murray was found due to a distinctive £1,300 designer coat he was spotted wearing in a takeaway food shop days earlier.
Ikem Affia was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 25 years, while his accomplice, Cleon Brown, was given an 11 year sentence.
Awe was sentenced to seven years for manslaughter and six years for conspiracy to commit robbery to run concurrently; a total of seven years. She was found not guilty of murder.
Dhillon was sentenced to 10 years for manslaughter and 10 years for conspiracy to commit robbery to run concurrently; a total of 10 years.
