London. A 35-year-old man has been charged with murder in connection with the death of a British Sikh taxi driver in an attack in Wolverhampton, central England. Anakh Singh (59) was employed as a driver with a private taxi company at Nine Elms Lane in the city and was found critically injured in the line of duty, who later succumbed to his injuries.
