THREE men have appeared in court for an alleged kidnapping in Southall.

Amrinder Singh, 25, and Nishan Singh Kanwar, 26, both of Belmore Avenue, Hayes; and Jaspreet Singh, 24, of Raleigh Avenue, Hayes, were charged with the offence following an incident in Kenilworth Gardens, Southall, on September 25.

They appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates Court on Tuesday, September 27. All three were remanded in custody, and they are next due at Isleworth Crown Court on December 13.

Kidnap is part of common law, meaning that it is a crime developed by judges' court rulings - also known as 'precedent' - over the years, as opposed to being defined in legislation.
