NextImg:Seven members of Tottenham Turks gang jailed in UK for organized kidnap, torture, murder of Turkish DJ

Prosecuting attorney Crispin Aylett stated: "Mr Alpergin was a well-known DJ and pop figure within the Turkish UK community in this country. It is unclear how he came to the attention of an Organised Crime Group who in effect did kidnap, torture, and murder Mr Alpergin. The group believed Mr Alpergin had something of value whether that be money drugs or information. There is a body of evidence the killing was organised by the so-called Tottenham Turks, the well-known organised crime group network."

Judge Sarah Whitehouse, presiding over the case, stated during sentencing: "Mr Alpergin had been tortured to death, after he was killed in the early hours of Friday morning his body was moved to different locations before being dumped in a woodland in Loughton. What is clear is the plan to kill Koray Alpergin had been in operation since at least 23 September. As in the early hours of that morning a tracking device had been placed under his car. There is no evidence that anyone of the three of you were involved in any of the planning and organisation of these crimes. I’m satisfied none of you three were central players in the plan, as I said the main players used others to do their dirty work while avoiding detection themselves."
