Three men were jailed for life in Britain on Friday for murdering five people when they blew up a shop in an attempted insurance scam. Shopkeeper Aram Kurd, Hawkar Hassan and Arkan Ali torched a Polish supermarket in Leicester, central England in February last year, destroying the shop and the flat above.

The trio were plotting to claim a £300,000 ($390,000, 340,000-euro) insurance pay-out. "None of the defendants has shown the slightest bit of remorse for their wicked crimes. They were exceptionally callous and deceitful," said judge David Holgate at Leicester Crown Court.
