 A man was gagged, robbed and beaten to death in his own home after being set up by two women in a 'honeytrap'. Vishal Gohel, 44, was expecting to have sex with Yarley Georgia Bruce-Annan, 22, and Faith Hoppie, 22, when they turned up at his home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, late on January 22 last year. He had borrowed £100 from his mum and drawn another £100 out before buying drinks, cigarettes and condoms for the 'sex party' after chatting with Bruce-Annan on online marketplace Craig's List. But he didn't realise his guests had spent the day leading up to the liaison plotting with Tevin Leslie, 23, Sakeen Gordon, 22, and Brandon Browne, 22, to rob him.

Charlotte Newell KC, prosecuting, said: '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.'
