Police have released a video offering “chilling” insight into a murder and the efforts to cover it up.

On January 23, 2022, Vishal Gohel was robbed, gagged and beaten inside his second-floor flat in Bushey High Street.

Five individuals were sentenced for his killing on Friday (December 8), for a total of more than 100 years.

Today (December 11) Herts Police shared CCTV footage and voice-notes surrounding the killing.

In one voice-note included, Georgia Bruce-Annan encourages Faith Hoppie to wipe her phone.

“You have to be prepared," she said. "Your story must not change. We didn’t know he was dead. When I tried to peak, I was intimidated.”

Another female voice, Hoppie’s, can then be heard in the next voice note relaying a similar story to the one she was encouraged to give, claiming not to have seen anything before hearing police sirens and leaving.

The video also includes details of the investigation as well as footage showing the offenders and their vehicles in the area, arrests being made, and a video of Mr Gohel at a nearby shop.
