An Indian-origin delivery driver has been sentenced to 29 years in prison for the murder of a woman, whose body was found dumped on a roadside in England’s West Midlands last year.Tanvir Singh, 32, was convicted of the murder of Shara Miller, 41, after her body was found in Smethwick in August 2025.During his sentencing at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Wednesday, Judge Michael Chambers described Singh as a “manipulative and cynical” man who showed no remorse for the murder, PTI reported.The court heard that Singh met Miller after drinking at a pub before driving to Soho Road, where he contacted sex workers. Prosecutors said he later attacked Miller inside his van and strangled her to death.Detective Inspector Joe Davenport, of West Midlands Police, said the victim was “brutally killed by a dangerous predator”.“Singh had been drinking in a pub at night and had gone to Soho Road to look for sex workers. He then picked up Shara in his van and was fatally attacked,” Davenport was quoted as saying by the news agency.Investigators told the court that Singh attempted to destroy forensic evidence by pouring liquids on Miller’s body before leaving her on the sidewalk after the murder.A member of the public later discovered the body, after which West Midlands Police launched a murder investigation.CCTV footage reviewed by detectives showed a white van arriving at the scene before removing Miller’s body and leaving it on the roadside. Authorities later traced the vehicle to a rental company and established that Singh was using it for parcel delivery work at the time of the crime.Police tracked down Singh to his home address in West Bromwich before arresting him on suspicion of murder.A forensic post-mortem examination found that Miller suffered head injuries and died from strangulation.During the trial, jurors heard that Miller was living with drug addiction and was involved in sex work at the time of her death.Following the sentencing, West Midlands Police said it continued to work with support organizations supporting vulnerable women involved in sex work.“No woman deserves to feel unsafe, and we are committed to providing safe spaces to report and access support,” the force said in a statement.
