Post Office staff failed to check Prabjeet Veadhesa’s ID when he collected the deadly parcel – and apparently assessed the 16-year-old to be over 25 simply by looking at him
Bungling Post Office workers handed over a “zombie” sword to a schoolboy who used it to murder a classmate hours later.
Staff failed to check Prabjeet Veadhesa’s ID when he collected the deadly parcel, which had been sent as an Age Verified item from a firm run by a former star of TV’s Junior Apprentice.
Instead, counter staff apparently assessed 16-year-old Veadhesa to be over 25 simply by looking at him.
Hours later he and accomplice Sukhman Shergill murdered Ronan Kanda, 16, in Wolverhampton, West Mids, after mistaking him for another teenager they were in dispute with â Veadhesa dealing the fatal blows.
